Passport agency requesting document

[tabnz 0]

Hello everyone,

I recently applied for U.S passport at the local Clerk office, I submitted a certified copy of the certificate of Naturalization and the office accepted. I just received a letter from the passport agency requesting the original certificate of Naturalization to be mailed to the passport regional agency. I just called the 1-800 number and they do not have much information, the best they could do is to send a message to the agency and they will give me a call with in 14 business days. I will mail it to them anyway, but I was wondering if I can mail it via certified mail, or priority mail, I am worried that it might get lost in the mail. I checked with the local clerk office to drop it off and I was informed it needs to be mailed.

Anyone had a similar experience to this? or is there a different number I can call besides the national 1-800 number?

 

Thank you so much.

Thank you so much.

I believe you can make an appointment at your local USCIS office and get a "certified true copy". Or you can send in the original. The State Department will only accept originals or certified true copies. They will not accept certified.  If for some reason the original gets lost, it will cost $555.00 to replace it.

Do anyone have experience for it? Do they will turn back the original certificate of Naturalization to us?
