Provide a reason for Form N-565?
Absolutely! When requesting a replacement certificate with Form N-565, USCIS needs to know why you need a new one.
Here's Why You Need to Explain:
This form replaces Certificates of Naturalization, Citizenship, or Declarations of Intention. In Part 2, you'll find a section for the reason behind your request. Pick the option that best describes your situation:
Lost - Can't find your original document.
Mutilated - Your document is damaged or destroyed.
Stolen - Someone took your document.
Never Received - You never got the document after applying.
Name Change - Your legal name has changed.
Other - Explain your reason in a short statement.
Be Specific and Provide Proof (if needed):
Lost/Stolen: A police report might help.
Name Change: Include a copy of your legal name change document.
Why This Matters:
A clear explanation and any supporting documents can speed up processing and get your replacement certificate faster.
