Replacement Certificate of US Citizenship
A replacement naturalization certificate is your official proof of US citizenship when your original one is:
Lost or Stolen: A replacement serves as proof you're still a US citizen.
Damaged: If your original certificate is unreadable, a replacement ensures you have a valid document.
Name Change: Got a new legal name? You'll need a replacement certificate reflecting that change.
Information Errors: If your original certificate has mistakes, a replacement can fix them.
Why is this important? Your naturalization certificate is often needed for things like:
Traveling internationally
Verifying employment eligibility
Obtaining government benefits
Remember: A replacement certificate maintains your official record of US citizenship and provides necessary documentation for various purposes.
