Lost Citizenship for Adopted Child

Here's how to replace a lost Certificate of Citizenship for your adopted child:

  • Use Form N-565: It's the same form used for any individual needing a replacement citizenship document.

  • Fill Out Child's Information: Name, DOB, birthplace, Alien Registration Number (if applicable).

  • Original Certificate Details: Include issuance date and any ID details.

  • Gather Supporting Documents: Birth certificate, adoption decree, proof of identity, etc. (as requested by USCIS).

  • Accuracy is Key: Double-check all information on Form N-565.

  • Submit Application Package: Follow USCIS instructions (from form and website).

  • USCIS Processes & Notifies: They'll mail you the outcome (hopefully, a new certificate!).
