If you arrived on or after the above date, you must attach such card to this application, inserting the number thereof in the appropriate blank space on the first page of this form. Your identification card will be returned to you, after it has served its purpose. If you arrived on or after July 1, 1928, and you do not have an immigrant identification card, either because it is lost or destroyed, or you did not receive such card, you should state the facts in Statement No. 10 on the first page.

These photographs must be 21⁄2 by 21⁄2 inches in size, must not be pasted on a card or mounted in any other way, must be on thin paper, have a light background, and clearly show a front view of your face without hat. Snapshots, group or full-length portraits will not be accepted. Both of these photographs must be signed by you on the margin and not on the face or the clothing. Money order.-Unless specifically excepted herein, you must secure a United States postal money order in the sum of $5, payable to the order of the "Commissioner of Naturalization, Washington, D. C." This money order, which is in payment for the issuance of a certificate of your arrival in the United States must be attached to this application when you send or take it to the naturalization officer named on the first page of this form. You are not required to send a money order with this application if your declaration of intention (first paper) is dated on or after July 1, 1929, or if you are petitioning for citizenship under a provision of the naturalization law which exempts you from the requirement for a declaration of intention and you arrived in the United States for permanent residence prior to June 29, 1906. Date of your arrival.-If you do not know the exact date of your arrival in the United States, or the name of the vessel or port, and you can not secure this informaion by consulting your family or friends who came over with you, give the facts of your arrival as you remember them in the appropriate blank spaces on the first page of this form. If you have a passport, ship's card, or baggage labels, they may help you to answer these questions. Race and nationality.—In furnishing information as to your race in Statement No. 3, page 3, "race" is to be determined from the original stock or blood of your ancestors and the language you speak, as distinguished from "nationality," which means the country of which you are a citizen or subject. For instance, a person may be of French blood or stock but owe allegiance to Great Britain. In that case "race" would be French and "nationality" British. For your information there follows a partial list of races or peoples: The term "Cuban" refers to the Cuban people (not Negroes); "West Indian refers to the people of the West Indies other than either Cubans or Negroes; "African (black)" refers to the African Negro, whether coming from Cuba or other islands of the West Indies, North or South America, Europe, or Africa. Any alien with admixture of blood of the African Negro will be classified under this heading. "Italian (North)" refers to people who are native to the basin of the River Po in northern Italy (i. e., Departments of Piedmont, Lombardy, Venetia, and Emelia) and their descendants, regardless of place of last foreign residence. "Italian (South)" refers to people who are native to that portion of Italy south of the basin of the River Po (i. e., Departments of Liguria, Tuscany, the Marches, Umbria, Rome, the Abruzzi and Molise, Campania, Apulia, Basilicata, Calabria, Sicily, and Sardinia) and their descendants, regardless of place of last foreign residence.
