Certificate of Citizenship Application
The Certificate of United States Citizenship Application Guide was developed to help United States citizens complete and file a request for a copy of their certificate of United States Citizenship. Only apply for a replacement certificate if your certificate of citizenship is lost, mutilated or destroyed. It is recommended to apply for a new certificate with your new name if your name has changed since the last certificate was issued.
Naturalized Citizens Should Apply for a Certificate of Naturalization instead of a Certificate of Citizenship
If you are a naturalized United States citizen, you should request a copy of your
Certificate of United States Naturalization. The process of applying for a certificate of citizenship and certificate of naturalization is similar; however, the two documents are not the same. Both documents entitle the holder to full benefits of United States citizenship, including applying for a United States Passport. However, the application requirements are different. Please refer to the Certificate of United States Naturalization application guide for more information.
