Misplaced my naturalization certificate

[ZeeEgyUS 1]

Hi all, 

I'm about to file I-130 for my spouse, but reading through the form it asks if I had a naturalization certificate and since I'm a naturalized citizen I was granted one when I was sworn in 5 years ago but I can't find it although I used it to get my US passport right after I acquired my citizenship. Do I need to get a replacement? Or should a copy of the biographic page of my passport do it? And if so what should I write to explain that? 

 

Thank you

You can explain in the "Additional Information" section that you misplaced it. I recommend filing the petition online: https://www.uscis.gov/i-130

 

Also, when you find it make scans/copies for your records.

Yes. In regards to the I-130A spouse supplement there is a section to upload that PDF.

After the "Review" page it'll take you to the payment portal at pay.gov: https://www.uscis.gov/forms/filing-fees

If You File Online

If you file your form online, the system will guide you through the process of paying your fees with a credit, debit, or pre-paid card. Bank account withdrawals are also available when paying online. Once you are ready to submit your form, the system will automatically direct you to the secure Department of Treasury site, pay.gov, to pay your fees online.

 

We only use pay.gov to process fees. Always check the website address before you pay. Beware of scam websites and scammers who may pretend to be a USCIS website.

But as a principle, the passport should suffice?

You have the option of using one of these 5 documents to prove US citizenship.
