Lost Naturalization Certificate

[sb_chicago]

Hello all,

I am a naturalized USC applying for my wife to become a US citizen. We recently got scheduled for an interview and one of the requirements is for me to bring my Certificate of Citizenship. Unfortunately, I lost my Certificate of Citizenship a while ago but I have a scanned digital copy. Is this enough? I also have a U.S passport as proof of citizenship.

I took a look at replacing my Certificate of Citizenship and it will cost me $555 to replace which is money I'd rather not spend if I do not have to.

The question is will my scanned copy and my U.S. passport be enough for the interview or do I need to get a new Certificate of Citizenship.

Thanks

I wouldn’t worry too much about it. The officer who interviewed us did not even ask for my spouse’s naturalization certificate and only asked to see my spouse’s passport. Just explain your situation if the officer asks for your naturalization certificate.
