Section 343(a) of the Immigration and
Nationality Act (INA) (8 U.S.C. 1454) provides that if any
certificate of naturalization or citizenship issued to any citizen
or any declaration of intention furnished to any declarant is lost,
mutilated, or destroyed, the citizen or declarant may make
application to the Secretary of Homeland Security for a new
certificate or declaration. Additionally, INA 343(b) provides for
the issuance of special certificates of naturalization for the
purpose of obtaining recognition as a citizen of the United States
by a foreign state, and INA 343(c) provides for the issuance of a
new certificate of naturalization in cases where a naturalized
citizen has changed his or her name after naturalization. Finally,
8 C.F.R. 338.5 provides for the issuance of a corrected Certificate
of Naturalization where the certificate does not conform to the
facts shown on the application for naturalization or a clerical
error was made in preparing the certificate. The Form N-565 is used
to apply for a replacement of a Declaration of Intention,
Naturalization Certificate, Certificate of Citizenship or
Repatriation Certificate, or to apply for a special certificate of
naturalization as a U.S. citizen to be recognized by a foreign
country.
