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.
