I Laminate My Certificate Of Naturalization

I have a us passport.

I laminate my certificate of naturalization.

If you laminate then the certificate will not be accepted and you need to replace using 565 hope this hlps. Just frame it or put it in a folder with the usual creditals. I know some people who laminated their birth certificate and it makes it harder to detect on sight if it s a fake. Now my i 485 has been scheduled a interview in march 2009.

When you require a certificate of naturalization to be authenticated be sure to use the term certified true copy if you have the original document to be certified you must make an appointment with your local uscis office by using the infopass appointment scheduler on our website. Uscis specifically said that you can not laminate the certificate. I laminated my certificate of naturalization. A certificate of naturalization is the document that the united states citizenship and immigration service uscis issues as proof that a person has been granted citizenship through naturalization.

I wouldn t laminate it. Hell the uscis apparently doesn t keep a record of your certificate that is why they want copies made of it and 400 bucks. The reason i ask is because a year back one of the pipes in my garage broke and water got over my high school diploma and ruin it. And it was in a frame which didn t protect the water from getting in to it.

It was all good until i took some friend s advise to laminate the certificate for preservation. Do i need to get a replacement certificate of naturalization and if i get a replacement using form n 565 do i say i laminated my certificate of naturalization as the reason for replacement. I was wondering if it s ok to laminate my college degree and certificate. A naturalization certificate can help you prove that you are authorized to live and work in the us travel on a us passport and vote in us elections.

If there s anything embedded such as security devices in the certificate it would be a problem. Once you become a us citizen you will get a naturalization certificate after you read more. So i wanted to laminate my college degree and organization certificate but don t know if it s a legal thing to do. Your certificate has an embossed seal on it touch the area where your picture is laminating your certificate in essence nullifies a security measure on your certificate.

If the certificate is lost or stolen you can replace it easily by completing a form and mailing it to uscis.
