§ 343a.2 Return or replacement of surrendered certificate of naturalization or citizenship.

A certificate of naturalization or citizenship in a Service file which was surrendered on a finding that loss of United States nationality had occurred directly or through a parent by reason of section 404 (b) or (c) of the Nationality Act of 1940 or section 352 of the Immigration and Nationality Act and which finding is no longer valid in view of Schneider v. Rusk, 377 U.S. 163, or a certificate of naturalization or citizenship in a Service file which was surrendered on a finding that loss of United States nationality had occurred pursuant to section 401(e) of the Nationality Act of 1940 or section 349 (a) (5) of the Immigration and Nationality Act and which finding is no longer valid in view of Afroyim v. Rusk, 387 U.S. 253, may be returned to the person to whom it was issued, notwithstanding the fact that he has since been naturalized or repatriated in the United States or abroad. If, after having been surrendered to the Department of State or to this Service, the certificate has been lost, mutilated, or destroyed as a result of either Service action or the action of that Department, a replacement certificate may be issued in the name shown in the surrendered certificate without fee and without requiring the submission of Form N-565. A surrendered certificate shall not be regarded as mutilated and a

replacement shall not be issued solely because of holes made in it to accommodate an Acco fastener, unless the citizen declines to accept the return of the surrendered certificate in that condition and insists upon issuance of a replacement. When it is desired that the replacement certificate be furnished in a name other than the one shown in the surrendered certificate, the regular application procedure with payment of fee must be followed. The naturalized person shall be required to appear in person, if within the United States, before an assigned officer for interrogation under oath or affirmation upon the request for return of the certificate.

§ 343b.3 Interrogation.

When Form N-577 presents a prima facie case, it shall be forwarded to the district director, without first interrogating the applicant, for issuance of the certificate. Interrogation of the applicant shall be conducted before the application is forwarded if he appears in person to file the application or if it is necessary in order to properly adjudicate the case. In that event the officer interviewing the applicant will complete the report on page 2 of Form N-577 before transmitting the application to the district director.
