The Certificate of US Citizenship (form N-560 or N-561) is a document issued by the United States government as proof of U.S. citizenship. An individual who
obtained U.S. citizenship either by action of law while residing in the United States or by having been born outside the United States to U.S. citizen parents has the right to apply for a
Certificate of U.S. Citizenship. For example:
■ Your parent are U.S. citizens, but you were born abroad.
■ At least one of your parents became naturalized when you were under 18 years of age and met the special conditions of the law.
The Certificate of United States Citizenship Guide was developed to help
United States citizens complete and file a request for a copy of
their certificate of United States Citizenship. You should
only apply for a replacement certificate if your certificate of
citizenship is lost, mutilated or destroyed. If your name has changed since the
last certificate was issued, it is recommended to apply for a new certificate
with the new name.

Who issues the Certificate of United States Citizenship?
The Certificate of Citizenship is a document that is issued by the U.S.
Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS).
Important: Only individuals who obtained U.S. citizenship either by
action of law while residing in the United States or by having been born outside
the United States to U.S. citizen parents can request a copy of their
certificate of citizenship. |
Naturalized Citizens: 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.
