What Is the Purpose of Form N-565?
Form N-565, Application for Replacement Naturalization/Citizenship Document, is used to apply to U.S. Citizenship and
Immigration Services (USCIS) for a replacement of a:
1. Certificate of Naturalization;
2. Certificate of Citizenship;
3. Declaration of Intention;
4. Repatriation Certificate; or
5. To apply for a special certificate of naturalization to be recognized as a U.S. citizen by a foreign country.
Who May File Form N-565?
You may apply for a replacement if:
1. You were issued a Certificate of Naturalization, Certificate of Citizenship, Declaration of Intention, or Repatriation
Certificate which was lost, stolen, destroyed, or mutilated;
2. You were issued a Certificate of Naturalization, Certificate of Citizenship, Declaration or Repatriation Certificate
which is incorrect due to typographical/clerical error by USCIS;
3. Your name was changed by marriage or by court order after the document was issued and you seek a document in
your new name;
4. 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;
5. 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; or
6. 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.
USCIS will not change a name without evidence such as a marriage certificate, divorce decree, or court order. We will
not change a date of birth on a Certificate of Citizenship without documentation such as a U.S. court order or state-issued
documents.
NOTE: USCIS cannot make any changes to an incorrect date of birth on a Naturalization Certificate if you reported an
incorrect date on your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, and then later swore to the facts of your application by
signing Part 15. Signature at Interview.
