Send your questions about index search results or record copies that you have already received to genealo...@dhs.gov. Include your case identification number in the subject line and in your message.
We try to respond to all requests within 90 days. However, processing delays sometimes occur. See the request status page to learn more about how you can gauge the progress of your request or make a status inquiry.
If you need only a copy of the naturalization certificate (not certified) to satisfy requirements for your foreign application for dual citizenship, you may submit Form G-1041A, Genealogy Records Request for the naturalization certificate only. This can eliminate processing delay resulting from information about the immigrant's children that may require review under the Privacy Act. To request only the certificate, write "Dual Citz-Natz Certificate Only" on your Form G-1041A or type this information in the "Optional Information Section" of your online request.
If possible, also provide information on where the immigrant lived in the United States (For example, "lived in NY in 1920's, then in CT in 1930 to death.") Other information can be helpful, such as names of family members (particularly spouses and children), marriage dates, and military service.
We will send a report of search results for all Index Search Requests. Search results vary. A typical index search response will include a file number, information about the file series, and additional information as follows:
In return, we will send you the best possible copy of the requested record. File numbers may be learned from an Index Search Request or, in some cases, through independent research. There are four series of file numbers corresponding to the five series of files available through a records request:
* When in doubt about a file number, please submit an Index Search Request. There is no refund when the file corresponding to the file number provided in a Records Request does not match the immigrant's name provided.
In return, you will receive the best possible copy of the requested record. File numbers may be learned from an Index Search Request or, in some cases, through independent research. There are four series of file numbers corresponding to the five series of files available through a records request:
C-File number for a naturalization or citizenship certificate file, 1906-1956. These numbers are found on original certificates and occasionally on other documents. More about C-File series.
Alien Registration Number (A-Number) for a Form AR-2 and/or an A-File numbered below 8 million. These seven-digit numbers may be found among an immigrant's personal papers, or after about 1942 on some court naturalization papers. More about A-Number series.
Visa File number for a Visa File. These numbers were assigned internally by the immigration agency and are not available outside an index search request. Note: Visa File numbers do not appear on a ship passenger list. More about Visa File series.
Registry File number (R-number) for a Registry File. Some Registry File numbers are found on land border card manifests now available on National Archives microfilm. Occasionally a researcher will find an immigrant's Certificate of Registry or Certificate of Lawful Entry among personal papers, and those cards may or may not include the R-number. The majority of Registry File numbers will only be available through an Index Search Request. More about R-number series.
* When in doubt about a file number, please submit an Index Search Request. There is no refund when the file corresponding to the file number provided in a records request does not match the immigrant's name provided.
If the record you seek falls between 1944-1956, complete Form G-1041, Genealogy Index Search Request, and then we will identify the proper records and provide you with instructions for requesting them under FOIA. Similarly, if a FOIA request identifies records covered by the USCIS Genealogy Program, the FOIA program will provide instructions for requesting those records using Form G-1041A.
FOIA requests of an obviously genealogical nature (such as for an immigrant born more than 100 years from the date of your request, naturalized prior to 1956, etc.) will be returned to the requester with instructions for re-submitting the request through the USCIS Genealogy Program.
If you are submitting multiple forms, pay each filing fee separately. We are transitioning to electronically processing immigration benefit requests, which requires us to use multiple systems to process your package. We may reject your entire package if you submit a single, combined payment for multiple forms.
You can find naturalization records from before Sept. 27, 1906, in federal, state, or local/municipal court records. Only the naturalization court kept records of naturalizations before that date. Naturalization practices and procedures also varied greatly over time and geographical location. As a result, local sources usually provide the best information on how to find pre-1906 naturalization records. For more information on state and local courts, contact the state or county historical or genealogical society in the location where you believe the immigrant naturalized. For federal court records, contact the National Archives and Records Administration.
Individuals admitted to the United States as contracted agricultural laborers between 1942 and 1951, and between 1951 and 1965, were admitted temporarily as nonimmigrants. USCIS did not retain records of temporary admissions. Lawfully admitted Braceros who fulfilled their contracts and returned to Mexico may not appear in any USCIS record.

The National Archives holds historical U.S. government documents (federal, congressional, and presidential records) that are created or received by the President and his staff, by Congress, by employees of Federal government agencies, and by the Federal courts in the course of their official duties.
The National Archives Catalog contains descriptions for NARA's nationwide holdings in the Washington, DC area; regional facilities; and Presidential Libraries. The Catalog is a work in progress and currently contains descriptions for 95% of our records, described at the series level. This means you can find basic information about the records, including size and location, from the description. Additionally, every week we are adding more file unit and item descriptions, many of which include digital files.
Typically descriptions in the Catalog do not include individuals' names; however, the National Archives still might have records about your ancestors. It may be necessary to closely read records of interest to see if a particular individual is mentioned.
One of the best ways to identify records of genealogical interest in the National Archives Catalog is by topic. If you find a description without digital images attached in the National Archives Catalog, that may contain records about your ancestor, contact the staff in that unit. The contact information appears in the Archived Copies section at the bottom of the description.
In these examples, we use quotations in Catalog searches around multiple words, phrases or words that we want to appear exactly as we have written them. For more in depth information on how to search the Catalog visit National Archives Catalog Search Tips.
The family history research you already compiled could contain valuable clues. Use these clues to identify National Archives records that would be useful to your research and go beyond the most common genealogical sources.
Clue: A significant decrease in income appears when you compare your ancestor's net worth between the 1860 Census and 1870 Census.
Records Worth Checking: Bankruptcy court records might contain a file on your ancestor. The Bankruptcy Act of 1867 allowed greater numbers of people to file for voluntary bankruptcy. Search in the National Archives Catalog for bankruptcy AND [state where you ancestor lived at the time].
