There is special processing for new citizens? Is that available in my area? Also not mailing in Certificate is very helpful too.

I doubt it as Covid all but locked down the passport agencies.  My wife got lucky back in 2018, now you need immediate travel needs to get into a passport agency.

How can we find out?

I know county has passport onsite fairs. Is that one?

Can they pay for your new CoN?

No. Thankfully whomever received the documents were honest and sent them back to the post office. After giving them a piece of my mind and catching them in a lie, they ran someone back over to our house. We put the certificate under some heavy objects for a month to smooth it out.

Ask if they will pay for new since it was crumbled?

I think the amount of yelling I did and complaints I filed were sufficient. They are barely literate at that post office

We once had cards, letters, and packages from the UK go missing via our post office a year. Eventually we discovered someone in the development had been receiving them and was tired of taking it back to the post office (we'd never receive them anyway) so they walked over and handed us a pile. When we questioned our mail carrier, he stated that he knew that person was British so any item regardless of address he'd just assume it was theirs. We said hey did you ever think there might be multiple British people in one area and maybe you should read the address? 😬

 

Last week there was a letter addressed to my mom. When I say letter, it literally was a letter, no envelope. It was just the letter contents. Four days later the rest of the contents of the envelope and a separate opened envelope with an audiobook cd (crushed) arrive in a Ziploc baggy with a sticker from the post office apologizing. It is terrifying that the state department wants us to send our most important documents through the mail or even has to handle passports in the first place. I paid extra for his UK passport to be handled by courier just so that our post office would never get their hands on it. It's always a relief to hear that people get their stuff back in one piece!

So they will not reimburse you for new certificate?

I try to be nice to civil servants, but that's wild. Sadly, quite believable....

I am not going to say that some people are buying refundable tickets just to get "in person" passport service (for US passport, or foreign at some diplomatic mission), but maybe some are, or so I have heard (and seen).   The extra cost for in person/express/urgent processing might be less than the cost of documents to be replaced, if lost, and that is not counting the cost of stress.  

 

I would never recommend to lie, but travel plans can change 🤷‍♀️
