I have lost my certificate of naturalization (U.S citizenship paper). they say I need to replace it...?

Question

I need the naturalization number as soon as possible; I will replace it, but is there a way that I could get the naturalization number from an immigration services office!? And if I apply for replacement, how long would it take until I have the new one!? Please help me!

Answer 1

WHY do you people ask these kinds of questions here on Answers?  If you need a naturalization number... WE DON'T HAVE IT... you need to contact INS and remember... there are a few UNPARDONABLE SINS... losing a PASSPORT or a NATURALIZATION CERTIFICATE are TWO of those unpardonable sins...  

Answer 2

Here is how to apply for the replacement:

As for how long that will take, no one knows but count on it being months, at least.

You might try making an Infopass appointment at your nearest USCIS office; they might be able to give you the number of the original certificate.
