Naturalization and Citizenship Certificates Outline

Get replacement copies of certified, USCIS-issued naturalization or citizenship certificates to prove your citizenship status.

Losing an official immigration or USCIS document can be a nightmare. While they're necessary to replace because they're important in proving your identity or legal status, filing for a replacement from the USCIS often involves complicated forms and a long filing process.

Here are some of the most common reasons why people file for a replacement:

My certificate was lost or stolen or destroyed
My certificate was mutilated
My certificate or declaration is incorrect due to a typographical or clerical error
My name has legally changed
My gender has legally changed
My date of birth has legally changed due to a court order or other state-issued documentsRe

How can you solve the problem on your own?

Replacement requests for naturalization/citizenship certificates are all covered by the USCIS N-565 form.

The form also covers requests for all of these documents:

Copy of Certificate of Citizenship
Copy of Certificate of Naturalization
Copy of Certificate of Repatriation
Declaration of Intention
Special Certificate of Naturalization to obtain recognition of your US citizenship by a foreign country

But applying for a copy of your certificate requires more than just the N-565 Form.

The application requires a fully completed N-565 form, different forms of evidence depending on your reason for the application and type of certificate, a payment of $555, and additional forms if you want to pay by card, want to receive an e-notification, or are working with an attorney. You must also include two copies of printed 2x2 passport-style photos with your application.

‼️ As you can see, the application process is hard to navigate.
