First time U.S passport application question

[confusing 5]

I just did my oath ceremony today and for some reason I did not hear that they can process the passport on the same day which will help me not to lose my certificate because for what I read they will just verify it and give it back to you. Unlike on the post office that you need to mail the original. My question is what place will do my passport with no need to mail my original certificate? Do I need to ask the uscis when is their oath day again? Or court? Or there will be no way but the post office? Your reply will be truly appreciate thank you in advance.

oh i am sorry, what i meant was that if its true they can issue a US PP by just looking at your naturalization certificate at the time of oath ceremony sounds fantastic and i would like to do the same . i mean who would go for the option for sending the certificate via mail and waiting for it to come back.

Either Post Office or US Passport Agency or even US Consulates, they need to keep you Original Certificate of Naturalization. Apply in Passport Agencies are less riskier, but you have to have proof of travelling within 2 weeks.

thats pretty much i know but i have never heard about what OP mentioned in this post. sounds enticing though.

Any place you apply for a passport they need your original Certificate of Naturalization. Passports are processed through the U.S. Department of State, not USCIS, and the Dept. of State needs the original Certificate of Naturalization to verify U.S. Citizenship. It will be returned with your new U.S. Passport. That is the only way, no matter which outlet you apply through. .

If you have concern, you can request a replacement Certificate of Naturalization, if lost or damaged, by filing for N-565. All you need is your A#, and a photocopy of your Certificate. Don't worry!

This is very helpful, and I can offer no help to the OP, but we are one step from the Naturalization, so it was great reading.

Next time hope we can help someone, this was just great information.

You can also look at:

They offer 24 hr passport application.

If you apply at a passport agency, you will be given your naturalization certificate back after they take your application. Applying by any other means requires sending your naturalization certificate off with the application. Not all passport agencies require proof of travel. So check out the details for the agency you are closest to.
