What Form N-565 is for

Used to replace a lost, stolen, or damaged Certificate of Naturalization or Certificate of Citizenship.

Application for Replacement Naturalization/Citizenship Document (N-565) is generally filed by lawful permanent residents and others pursuing U.S. citizenship or citizenship documents. Whether this form fits your situation depends on your specific facts, so confirm the current eligibility rules on the official USCIS page before you file.

  • Prepare the form from the information you provide

What Asal cannot legally advise on

If your case involves complex legal issues, consult a licensed immigration attorney.

Fees and official sources

USCIS filing fees change periodically and vary by category, age, and filing method. We do not quote government fees from memory. Always verify the current N-565 filing fee, payment method, and any form-specific fee rules on the official USCIS page before you submit.

Processing times for N-565 vary widely by service center, workload, and case complexity, and they change month to month. Check current estimates with the USCIS processing-times tool and your receipt notice rather than relying on a fixed number. Filing a complete, well-organized packet is the best way to avoid Requests for Evidence that add delay.

USCIS government fees are separate from Asal preparation fees. Verify current fees on USCIS.gov.
