| Application for Replacement Naturalization/Citizenship Document | Application for Replacement Naturalization/Citizenship Document | The Application for Replacement Naturalization/Citizenship Document (N-565) is used to apply to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for a replacement of a Certificate of Naturalization, Certificate of Citizenship, Declaration of Intention, Repatriation Certificate, or to apply for a special certificate of naturalization to be recognized as a U.S. citizen by a foreign country. |
Learn more about <a href="https://www.uscis.gov/n-565">applying for a replacement document</a> | |||||
| Before you start your application | Eligibility | Your eligibility to apply for a replacement document depends on the reason for your request. You may apply for a replacement if: • You were issued a Certificate of Naturalization, Certificate of Citizenship, Declaration of Intention, or Repatriation Certificate which was lost, stolen, destroyed, or mutilated • You were issued a Certificate of Naturalization, Certificate of Citizenship, Declaration or Repatriation Certificate which is incorrect due to a typographical/clerical error by USCIS • Your name was changed by marriage or by court order after the document was issued and you seek a document in your new name • You received your Certificate of Citizenship and afterwards you obtained a court order or a state-issued document that changes your date of birth and you seek a certificate with the new date of birth • You were issued a Certificate of Citizenship or a Certificate of Naturalization and your change of gender is legally recognized through a court order, a government-issued document, or a medical certification • You are a naturalized citizen seeking a special certificate of naturalization for the purpose of a foreign country recognizing you as a citizen of the United States. NOTE: USCIS will not change your name without evidence such as a marriage certificate, divorce decree, or court order. We will not change the date of birth on a Certificate of Citizenship without documentation such as a U.S. court order or state-issued documents. USCIS cannot make any changes to an incorrect date of birth on a Naturalization Certificate if you reported an incorrect date on your Application for Naturalization (N-400), and then later swore to the facts of your application by signing Part 16, Signature at Interview. We can only change the name on your Certificate of Naturalization if you changed your name after you naturalized. |
||||||
| Fee | Fee: $555 If your current document is incorrect due to a typographical or clerical error caused by USCIS, there is no fee. If you are applying for a fee waiver, you cannot submit your request online and will need to file a paper form instead. |
Learn more about <a href="https://www.uscis.gov/feewaiver">filing a fee waiver</a> | ||||||
| Submitting online | Submitting your application online is the same as mailing in a completed paper form. They both gather the same information and cost the same. | |||||||
| Documents you may need | Before starting the Application for Replacement Naturalization/Citizenship Document (N-565), you may want to gather the documents you will need to support your application. These include your original document, if you still have it, and a recent color photograph of yourself. The other documents you need will depend on the information you provide in the application, such as the reason you are requesting the replacement document. We will tell you which documents you need to submit in the Evidence section of the application. |
|||||||
