Naturalization Applicants Naturalization applicants must update the INS' records regarding their addresses while their applications are pending awaiting approval. This updating of address allows the INS to notify the applicant of fingerprinting, interview, and oath ceremony appointments in the event that an applicant changes addresses during the lengthy adjudication process. Applicants may otherwise not receive important notifications and risk losing their place in the processing queue as well as running the risk of a denial of naturalization for failure to appear. Those applicants, who have sent notification of an address change to the service via written notification, should call the toll-free number to confirm that those changes have been made. Alaska service is available from 8am to 5pm, Hawaii Service from 8am to 4pm and in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, Service is available from 9am to 6pm, Monday through Friday.
Service is available in both English and Spanish.
