Speedy replacement of Naturalization Certificate

[S Villarreal]

Hello all.
I have lost my Naturalization Certificate. I have already filed Form N-565 through the Tampa, FL USCIS office. I received an automated response form indicating that it takes about a year to receive a replacement. I need the Certificate in order to obtain a US Passport from the State Department on a rush basis. What can I do to expedite? Is there another form that I can file to place an expedite request? Please help. Thanks to everyone.

S Villa,

First of all, you are a nut. People who naturalize are specifically told to apply for a US passport immediately preceding the oath ceremony. You know why? For the same reason which you are seeking help of today, losing the certificate is a common occurance cause people go on celebration for no apparent reason.

Man...there is nothing that you can do right now. Do you have a copy of this certificate? If not, then you are screwed big big big anfd big time....

If you lost your certificate after the ceremony, then you need some help...
