Written comments and suggestions from the public and affected
agencies should address one or more of the following four points:
(1) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(4) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses.
Overview of This Information Collection
(1) Type of Information Collection: Revision of a Currently
Approved Collection.
(2) Title of the Form/Collection: Application for Replacement
Naturalization/Citizenship Document.
(3) Agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the
DHS sponsoring the collection: N-565; USCIS.
(4) Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as
well as a brief abstract: Primary: Individuals or households. USCIS
uses Form N-565 to determine the applicant's eligibility for a
replacement document. An applicant may file for a replacement if they
were issued one of the documents described above and it was lost,
mutilated, or destroyed; if the document is incorrect due to a
typographical or clerical error by USCIS; if the applicant's name was
changed by a marriage, divorce, annulment, or court order after the
document was issued and the applicant now seeks a document in the new
name; or if the applicant is seeking a change of the gender listed on
their document. The only document that can be replaced on the basis of
a change to the applicant's date of birth, as evidenced by a court
order or a document issued by the U.S. government or the government of
a U.S. state, is the Certificate of Citizenship. If the applicant is a
naturalized citizen who desires to obtain recognition as a citizen of
the United States by a foreign country, he or she may apply for a
special certificate for that purpose.
USCIS may request that applicants who reside within the United
States attend an appointment at a USCIS Application Support Center to
have a photograph taken. USCIS may also require applicants to submit
additional biometrics under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(9).
(5) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount
of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: The estimated
total number of respondents for the information collection N-565
