We recommend that you print or save a copy of your completed application to review in the future and for

your records. We recommend that you review your copy of your completed application before you come to

your biometric services appointment at a USCIS ASC. At your appointment, USCIS will permit you to complete

the application process only if you are able to confirm, under penalty of perjury, that all of the information in your

application is complete, true, and correct. If you are not able to make that attestation in good faith at that time, USCIS

will require you to return for another appointment.

What Is the Filing Fee?

The filing fee for Form N-565 is $555.

NOTE: There is no fee required if you select Item C. in Item Number 2. of Part 2. of the application. Visit

for current and additional filing fee information.

NOTE: The filing fee is not refundable, regardless of any action USCIS takes on this application. DO NOT MAIL

CASH. You must submit all fees in the exact amounts.

Use the following guidelines when you prepare your check or money order for the Form N-565 filing fee:

1. The check or money order must be drawn on a bank or other financial institution located in the United States and must

be payable in U.S. currency; and

2. Make the check or money order payable to U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

NOTE: Spell out U.S. Department of Homeland Security; do not use the initials “USDHS” or “DHS.”

Notice to Those Making Payment by Check. If you send us a check, USCIS will convert it into an electronic funds

transfer (EFT). This means we will copy your check and use the account information on it to electronically debit your

account for the amount of the check. The debit from your account will usually take 24 hours and your bank will show it

on your regular account statement.

You will not receive your original check back. We will destroy your original check, but will keep a copy of it. If USCIS

cannot process the EFT for technical reasons, you authorize us to process the copy in place of your original check. If your

check is returned as unpayable, USCIS will re-submit the payment to the financial institution one time. If the check is

returned as unpayable a second time, we will reject your application and charge you a returned check fee.
