IMPORTANT — Under USCIS policy PA-2025-29 (effective Dec 12, 2025), self-submitted photos are no longer accepted for most benefit requests including Form N-600. Your photo will be captured at the Application Support Center (ASC) biometric services appointment. Check the current Form N-600 instructions at uscis.gov/n-600 before mailing any printed photos.
Wearing glasses at the ASC appointment — remove all eyeglasses before your photo is taken

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I still need to submit photos with my Form N-600 (Certificate of Citizenship)?
Probably not. Under USCIS policy alert PA-2025-29, effective December 12, 2025, USCIS stopped accepting self-submitted photos for most benefit requests. Your photo is captured at the Application Support Center (ASC) biometric services appointment. Always check the current Form N-600 instructions at uscis.gov/n-600 before filing, since the printed form may still reference the older 2-photo submission rule.
Why did USCIS stop accepting self-submitted photos?
USCIS announced the change on December 12, 2025 to prevent immigration fraud through enhanced identity verification. Photos taken at the ASC are tied directly to your fingerprints, which is harder to falsify than a mailed-in printed photo.
Do I still need a passport-style photo at all?
You do not need one for the N-600 filing itself. However, many applicants prepare a compliant 2×2 inch photo for other purposes — for example, applying for a US passport after receiving the Certificate of Citizenship (a common next step). The requirements are identical to US passport photos, so one photo works for both.
What is the difference between Certificate of Citizenship and Naturalization?
Certificate of Citizenship (N-600) is for people who derived or acquired citizenship through parents. Certificate of Naturalization (N-550) is for people who naturalized themselves through Form N-400. Both fall under the same USCIS photo policy — the photo is captured at ASC, not self-submitted.
Can I use a Certificate of Citizenship as ID for travel?
No. While it proves your citizenship, you cannot use it for travel. You need a US passport for international travel and a REAL ID or passport for domestic flights. Many people apply for a US passport right after receiving their Certificate of Citizenship.
