is no longer valid in view of "Schneider v.'Rusk," 377 U.S. 163, or a certificate of naturalization or citizenship in a service file which was surrendered on a finding that loss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 U.S. 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401(e) of the Nationality Act of 1940 or section 349(a) (5) of the Immigration and Nationality Act and which finding is no longer valid in view of "Afroyim v. Rusk," 387 U.S. 253, or a certificate of citizenship in a service file which was surrendered on a finding that loss of U.S. nationality had occurred pursuant to section 301(b) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, the provisions of which were extended by section 301(c) of the same Act to persons born after May 24, 1934, and which finding is no longer valid in view of the amendment to section 301(b) on October 27, 1972, Public Law 92-584, may be returned to the person to whom it was issued, notwithstanding the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.

A naturalized citizen who desires to obtain recognition as a citizen of the United States by a foreign state shall submit an application on Form N-577. He shall not be furnished with verification of his naturalization for such purpose in any other way. An applicant who is a claimant against a foreign government for property damage pursuant to the provisions of a peace treaty shall not be requested to furnish the name, official title, and address of a foreign official unless such information is available when the investigation of the applicant is conducted. The applicant shall be required to appear in person before an assigned officer for interrogation under oath or affirmation upon the application.

[32 FR 9636, July 4, 1967]

§ 3436.2 Number of applications required. A special certificate of naturalization is delivered to one foreign government official only. An applicant who desires recognition as a U.S. citizen by more than one foreign official, whether in the same country or not, must file a separate application for each certificate required.

§ 3436.3 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. In all other cases the interview shall take place at any time before the certificate is transmitted to the State Department (unless the applicant is abroad) and the report completed after the interview.

[32 FR 9636, July 4, 1967]

§ 343b.4 Applicant outside of United States.

If the application is received by a Service officer stationed outside the United States, he shall, when practicable, interrogate the applicant before the application is forwarded to the district director in the United States having jurisdiction over the applicant's place of residence for issuance of the certificate. When such interrogation is not practicable, or is not conducted because the application is submitted directly to the Commissioner or a district director of the Service in the United States, the certificate may nevertheless be issued and the recommendation conditioned upon satisfactory interrogation by a State Department representative. When forwarding the certificate in such a case, the Secretary of State shall be informed that the applicant has not been interviewed, and requested to have his representative abroad interview the applicant regarding identity and possible expatriation. If identity is not established or if expatriation has occurred, the request shall be made that the certificate be returned to the Service.

[37 FR 7584, Apr. 18, 1972]

§ 343b.5 Verification of naturalization. The application shall not be granted without first obtaining verification of the applicant's naturalization. [32 FR 9636, July 4, 1967]

§ 343b.11 Disposition of application.

(a) Issuance of certificate. If the application is granted, a special certifi

cate of naturalization of Form N-578 shall be issued by the district director and forwarded to the Secretary of State for transmission to the proper authority of the foreign state. The district director shall forward the original certificate by letter, in triplicate, to the Secretary of State, Attention: Office of Citizens' Consular Service, Department of State, Washington, D.C. 20520; forward the application and the duplicate certificate to the official Service file, and send Form N568 to the applicant.
