The redesign is part of an ongoing USCIS initiative to deter counterfeiting by adding enhanced graphics and fraud-resistant security features to critical documents.
Although the design is new, the process of applying for and receiving naturalization and citizenship certificates will not change.

It is only necessary to replace a certificate if it is lost or contains incorrect information.
Pending a successful pilot, we will begin to issue the new certificates nationwide at a future date.
