I have lost my USA Naturalization Certificate.
I would prefer not to apply to U.S. immigration for a duplicate Certificate as there is a $300+ fee...
1. Is there any other alternative to satisfy the OCI requirement for copy of Naturalization Certificate?
Perhaps submitting old American Passport?
2. According to the checklist below, If applying for OCI while in India, there is no requirement to produce the copy of Naturalization Certificate.
Is that information still accurate? Or has the requirements changed?
Documents required checklist
