Replacement Naturalization Certificate

A misplaced wallet, a spilled drink, or even a legal name change – these situations might require replacing your naturalization certificate. Here's a quick guide to help you decide:

When a Replacement is Necessary:

  • Lost or Stolen: A lost or stolen certificate creates an identity theft risk. A replacement safeguards your citizenship proof.

  • Damaged or Worn: If your certificate is damaged or deteriorating, get a replacement to ensure its validity and readability.

  • Name Change: Legally changed your name? A replacement certificate reflecting your new name is obtainable through Form N-565.

  • Foreign Language Version: Need an English copy of your foreign language certificate for official purposes? Form N-565 can help.

  • Name Misspelling: A misspelling on your certificate? A replacement corrects the error.

  • Special Circumstances: Unique situations like lost certificates due to disasters or confiscation by authorities may require replacements.

  • Urgent Travel: Lost, damaged, or inaccessible certificate hindering urgent travel plans? Expedited replacement through Form N-565 might be an option.

Taking Action:

Consider these factors to determine if a replacement is needed. If so, filing Form N-565 with USCIS is usually the way to go.

Filing Tips:

  • Provide accurate information and all required supporting documents.

  • There may be a filing fee, and processing times can vary.
