I have literally dozens of co-workers who have become naturalized citizens within the last few years. I will ask.
Trav's grandmother was a naturalized citizen of the US. Since everything is off the walls in the stairwell and foyer thanks to this month's <s>money pit</s> improvement project, I took another look at her Certificate of Naturalization today.
Just next to the seal is this statement:
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I did a Google search, trying to find the current language of such a certificate, but came up with zip.In testimony whereof the seal of said court is herunto affized on the 29 day of April in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and 27, and of our Independence the one hundred and 51.
AL (or others), might you have a co-worker who would care to share?

The newest certificate I was able to find is from 1999 for some guy named Rodney. It does not contain the phrase "in the year of our lord".
While searching I did come across one from 1958 though, where they still used it.
The image of his certificate is at http://www.cig.salk.edu/pics/ins-v2.jpg
I would have put it up as an img tag but it's pretty big and slow loading (*****ing dialup!)
If you check it out note the warning in the lower left corner. Do we have to contact Homeland security and turn him in now? If we don't will the stormtroopers come for us? [img]eek.gif[/img]
No need to turn him in. (see step 2 on this web page)
Apparently you are not only allowed but encouraged to make backup personal copies. It is like the "illegal to deface money" thing, where it is only illegal if done with intent to defraud.
