Ron Gotcher says that:
I'm fortunate enough to have a US Passport Agency office just over the hill from my office. I can't imagine why a postal official would need to take the original document. CIS doesn't even insist on originals unless they specifically request them when processing the case.
also in a different message related to the same topic:
...Bring the original with a photocopy. They will certify the photocopy as a duplicate original and return your original on the spot.
Is there anyone who got the US Passport without sending the original Naturalization Certificate with the application?
