In an effort to combat counterfeiting the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) announced in October 2011 that is has significantly revised two documents. The documents are the Employment Authorization Document (EAD) and the Certificate of Citizenship (Form N-560). Both documents contain new features that strengthen security and deter fraud. USCIS will replace EADs already in circulation as individuals apply for their renewal or replacement. All previously issued EADs remain valid until the expiration date printed on the card. Previously issued Certificates of Citizenship remain valid indefinitely. For more information regarding the changes and photos of the revised documents see USCIS's web site.
