170.9 Replacement of lost, mutilated, or destroyed receipt of registration. (a) Except as hereinafter provided, any alien whose registration receipt card has been lost, mutilated, or destroyed may apply for a new receipt card in lieu thereof. Such application shall be made under oath or affirmation, upon a form prescribed for that purpose, and shall be filed with the district director of the Immigration and Naturalization Service having jurisdiction over the place of the applicant's residence.

(b) When the application for a new receipt card is received by the district director, he shall assign the investigation of the application to any officer of the Service within his jurisdiction. The investigating officer shall conduct such inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the alleged loss, mutilation, or destruction of the original receipt card as to satisfy himself that such loss, mutilation, or destruction has occurred. If a receipt card has been mutilated, it must be surrendered to the investigating officer before a new card will be issued. The investigating officer shall also satisfy himself that the applicant is the individual to whom the registration record relates, and shall make any further inquiry justified by the facts in a particular case. If deemed advisable, written sworn statements concerning any pertinent facts may be obtained from the applicant and any other persons whose testimony should be secured. Upon completion of the investigation, the investigating officer shall recommend the granting or denial of the application for a new receipt card, and if his recommendation is adverse, he shall state the reasons therefor in writing. The investigating officer shall obtain the applicant's signature and a print of his right index finger upon Form AR-3a and shall type on the face of that form the name and present address of the applicant. If for any reason the impression of the right index finger cannot be taken, the impression of another finger should be obtained and the form suitably endorsed to show which finger and hand.

(c) The investigating officer shall then forward the application and any testimony taken from the applicant and other persons, together with Form AR-3a, to the district director having jurisdiction. The district director or an officer designated by him shall review the record and may, if he deems it advisable, refer the case to the same or any other officer of the Service for further investigation. If no further investigation is considered necessary, the entire record shall be forwarded to the Alien Registration Division. The reviewing officer shall indicate whether he concurs with the recommendation of the investigating officers, and if not, he shall state the reasons for his non-concurrence.

(d) Upon consideration of the application and record in the Central Office, the Chief of the Alien Registration Division may, if he is satisfied that the original receipt has been lost, mutilated, or destroyed, sign the Form AR-3a, place thereon the proper registration number, and mark the form to show that it is a duplicate issued in lieu of an original receipt which has been lost, mutilated, or destroyed. Both the original date of registration and the date of issuance of the duplicate shall be shown on the new card. If

the said officer is not satisfied that a duplicate should be issued, he shall deny the application. If the record indicates that any further action is desirable or necessary in connection with the case of the alien, it should be referred to the appropriate division of the Central Office for consideration of such further action.

(e) If a duplicate receipt card on Form AR-3a is issued, it shall be sent direct to the applicant by the Alien Registration Division. (f) Any alien child who was less than fourteen years of age at the time of his registration upon the basis of an application made by his parent or legal guardian under §§ 170.1 (c) or 170.1 (d) and who desires to obtain a new registration receipt card in lieu of a lost, mutilated, or destroyed original may, if the alien is less than fourteen years of age at the time application is made, obtain a new card through the procedure specified in subsections (a) to (e) of this section. In such cases, however, the application for a new card shall be executed by the child's parent or guardian, preferably the same person who made application for the original registration; the testimony of the parent or guardian instead of that of the child shall be obtained and the new Form AR-3a, if issued, shall be delivered to the parent or guardian. No fingerprint of the alien child need be obtained on Form AR-3a, which shall be signed by the parent or guardian. In any such case in which no parent or guardian is available, the matter shall be reported to the Alien Registration Division for special instructions concerning the procedure to be followed in replacing the original receipt card. (g) An alien seaman who has been admitted to the United States as a nonimmigrant under the provisions of section 3 (5) of the Immigration Act of 1924, has remained for 30 days or more, has been registered and fingerprinted, and whose alien registration receipt card (Seaman Form AR-103-S) has been lost, destroyed, or mutilated, should be reregistered and given a new original receipt card. In such cases, any mutilated receipt card must be surrendered before another card is delivered.
