The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), is now issuing redesigned certificates for citizenship and naturalization for individuals who request replacement certificates (Form N-561, Replacement Certificate of Citizenship, and Form N-570, Replacement Certificate of Naturalization).
The new certificates incorporate state-of-the-art technology to help deter counterfeiting, prevent tampering, and facilitate quick and accurate authentication. Additionally, USCIS employs a new and more secure printing process for the certificates to further prevent tampering.
Checks by African Metro News show that the new improvements are part of USCIS’s ongoing efforts to produce secure documents and enhance the integrity of the immigration system. Certificate of Naturalization (Form N-550), Certificate of Citizenship (Form N-560) and Employment Authorization Document (Form I-765) have all been redesigned since 2010, with enhanced security features.
Although the look and feel of the documents is new, a USCIS statement maintains that the process of applying for and receiving them will not change. Previously issued certificates will also remain valid.
