If you do not have a valid USCIS File Number to complete this request, submit an index search of USCIS historical  
records using Form G-1041, Genealogy Index Search Request.  
Who Should Use Form G-1041A?  
You should use this request if you are a:  
1. Researcher requesting a copy of a USCIS historical record by file number (see descriptions of USCIS historical  
records in the How Are Historical Records and Files Identified section of these Instructions);  
2. Researcher who has received file numbers resulting from the G-1041; or  
3. Researcher seeking records for genealogical or family history purposes or heir location, and who can provide a precise  
historical record series file number and can identify the immigrant by name and/or other information.  
If the immigrant’s date of birth is less than 100 years before today’s date, you must attach documentary proof of death to  
this request. Examples of acceptable documentary proof of death include:  
1. Death certificate (uncertified copy);  
2. Printed obituaries, funeral programs, or photographs of gravestones;  
3. Bible, church, or other religious records;  
4. U.S. Social Security Death Index records (individual records only, not lists);  
5. Records relating to the payment of death benefits; and  
6. Other documents demonstrating that the immigrant of the request is deceased.  
Submit a copy of one of these items with this request. Do not include original records because USCIS will not return  
such documents.

6. Certification of Nonexistence of a Naturalization Record. All these requests must be submitted to the USCIS Records  
NOTE: If you are seeking records of living immigrants, or immigrants who arrived after 1945, or who naturalized after  
April 1, 1956, use Form G-639, Freedom of Information/Privacy Act Request.  
How Are Historical Records and Files Identified?  
Records and files are identified by file numbers.  
To help identify historical USCIS file numbers, review the chart below that lists available series of USCIS historical files  
and shows sample file numbers.  
Requests for copies of USCIS historical records or files must identify the record by the file number or another file  
identifier. USCIS cannot retrieve a record without a file number. If you do not have the file number, you should first  
submit Form G-1041. For more information, visit the Requesting Records page at www.uscis.gov/genealogy.

Filing Fee. Each request must be accompanied by the appropriate filing fee. (See the What Is the Filing Fee section of  
these Instructions.)  
Evidence. At the time of filing, you must submit all evidence and supporting documentation listed in the How Are  
Historical Records and Files Identified section of these Instructions.

must submit an original document. USCIS may request an original document at the time of filing or at any time during  
processing of an application, petition, or request. If you submit original documents when not required, the documents  
may remain a part of the record, and USCIS will not automatically return them to you.

translation. The translator must sign a certification that the English language translation is complete and accurate, and that  
he or she is competent to translate from the foreign language into English. The certification should also include the date,

married and the question asks “Provide the name of your current spouse”), type or print “N/A,” unless otherwise  
directed. If your answer to a question which requires a numeric response is zero or none (for example, “How many  
children do you have” or “How many times have you departed the United States”), type or print “None,” unless  
otherwise directed.  
We recommend that you print or save a copy of your completed request to review in the future  
and for your records.  
What is the Filing Fee?  
The filing fee for Form G-1041A varies depending on the number of files requested.  
1. The fee for a copy from microfilm is $65 per request; and  
2. The fee for a copy from hard copy file is $65 per request.  
NOTE: The filing fee is not refundable, regardless of any action USCIS takes on this request. If the file number provided  
does not match the immigrant named on this request, and there is no previous Genealogy Index Search case identification  
number provided, we will not refund any fee. DO NOT MAIL CASH. You must submit all fees in the exact amounts.  
Use the following guidelines when you prepare your check or money order for the Form G-1041A filing fee:  
1. The check or money order must be drawn on a bank or other financial institution located in the United States and must  
be payable in U.S. currency; and  
2. Make the check or money order payable to U.S. Department of Homeland Security.  
NOTE: Spell out U.S. Department of Homeland Security; do not use the initials “USDHS” or “DHS.”  
Notice to Those Making Payment by Check. If you send us a check, USCIS will convert it into an electronic funds  
transfer (EFT). This means we will copy your check and use the account information on it to electronically debit your  
account for the amount of the check. The debit from your account will usually take 24 hours and your bank will show it  
on your regular account statement.  
You will not receive your original check back. We will destroy your original check, but will keep a copy of it. If USCIS  
cannot process the EFT for technical reasons, you authorize us to process the copy in place of your original check. If your  
check is returned as unpayable, USCIS will re-submit the payment to the financial institution one time. If the check is  
returned as unpayable a second time, we will reject your request and charge you a returned check fee.  
How To Check If the Fees Are Correct  
Form G-1041A’s filing fee is current as of the edition date in the lower left corner of this page. However, because USCIS  
fees change periodically, you can verify that the fees are correct by following one of the steps below.  
1. Visit the USCIS website at www.uscis.gov, select “FORMS,” and check the appropriate fee; or  
2. Call the USCIS National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283 and ask for fee information. For TTY (deaf or
