English Replacement! Lost Foreign Naturalization Certificate

Here's what to do if your naturalization certificate is in another language and you need a new one:

  • Translation First! Get a certified English translation of your original certificate.

  • Apply with Form N-565: Include the translated document and any other required paperwork (ID, proof of name change, etc.).

  • Wait for Processing: USCIS will send you a replacement certificate - in English this time!

Why Replace It? A replacement in English is helpful for:

  • Proving US Citizenship

  • Applying for Government Benefits

  • Verifying Your Identity
