Request For Certification Of Military Or Naval Service {N-426}

Form N-426 - REQUEST FOR CERTIFICATION OF MILITARY OR NAVAL SERVICE. Persons who are currently serving honorably in the U.S. armed forces or who have served honorably in the past are granted certain exemptions from the general requirements for naturalization. To establish eligibility, the law requires the executive department under which such person is serving to certify whether the service member is serving honorably. You (the service member applying for naturalization) should submit this form to certify your service with your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, if you are applying for military naturalization under the Immigration and Nationality Act section 328 or 329 and you are currently serving in the U.S. armed forces. If you have served in the U.S. armed forces but have separated from service and are no longer serving, do not submit this form. Instead, for each period of service, you must submit a copy of your DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, NGB Form 22, National Guard Report of Separation and Record of Service, or other official discharge document. You should submit your official discharge documents with your Form N-400, in accordance with the form instructions. ONLY personnel with certifying authority (generally a military official serving in pay grade of O-6 or higher or GS-15 or higher) from the military branch may certify this request. Recruiters cannot certify this request. Please review your service’s specific policies on who can certify Form N-426. www.FormsWorkflow.com
