Abstract: This form is used by the clerk of courts that administer the oath of allegiance for naturalization to notify the USCIS of all persons to whom the oath was administered. The information is used by the USCIS to update its alien files and records to indicate that the aliens are now citizens; develop an audit trail on the certificates of naturalization; and determine the payments to be made to the courts for reimbursement of their expenses in connection with the naturalization process.
