Form N-336 is used to request a hearing if naturalization is denied. Form N-565 is for replacement of naturalization/citizenship documents. Form N-600 is for obtaining a Certificate of Citizenship for individuals who acquired citizenship through parents. Form N-648 is a medical certification for disability exceptions to the English/civics requirements. Citizenship through naturalization grants full rights including voting and a U.S. passport.
