Hi I'm 28 years old and I was adopted as a child. I unfortunately lost my naturalization document. Yes I know I should've taken better care of it but it was lost during a move. Bottom line is I need to travel soon. I did reapply for my certificate of naturalization and they said (6months to 2 years). And so now I'm trying to see if anyone has had this issue and if anyone has been able to get a US passport with the NC. Please if you have any info it would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Can you provide your parents' US passports and proof of your adoption? It not, you have to get your certificate of naturalization before you can apply for a US passport.
