Copy of Naturalization Certificate

[chman_zinga]

Hi

Can I use a copy of my Naturalization Certificate as proof of my citizenship for I-130 petition?

The reason I ask this question because I don’t have my passport made yet, and on the certificate itself it says that it is “unlawful to copy the certificate without proper authority “.

Has anyone submitted Copy of the Certificate for I 130 and had any issue.
Please help.

Thanks
Zahir
