Which statement is true regarding replacement certificates of naturalization?

• A. No fee is required for lost certificates
• B. USCIS cannot issue a replacement if DOB is claimed incorrectly
• C. Replacement certificates are issued via regular mail
• D. A person cannot apply if gender has changed

Answer: (B)

The statement regarding replacement certificates of naturalization indicates that if the date of birth is claimed incorrectly, USCIS cannot issue a replacement. This is accurate because the information on a naturalization certificate must reflect the facts as they are legally recognized. If there is an inconsistency or incorrect claim regarding the date of birth, it raises issues about the validity of the application, as accurate personal information is crucial in identification and legal documentation.

In cases where crucial personal information such as date of birth is inaccurate, USCIS would not proceed with issuing a replacement, as it cannot correct or authenticate an application that contains discrepancies. This ensures that all issued documents are reliable and maintain the integrity of the naturalization process.

The other statements do not hold true in the context of USCIS procedures. For instance, there might be a fee applicable for lost certificates, replacement certificates are typically sent by secure means rather than regular mail to ensure safety and compliance, and individuals can still apply for a replacement regardless of gender changes, as the identity verification process can accommodate such situations.
