diplomatic or consular officer to take the oath of allegiance as 
prescribed by section 337 of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
    (2) The applicant shall submit documentary evidence to establish her 
eligibility to take the oath of allegiance. If the diplomatic or 
consular officer or the Department determines, when the application is 
submitted to the Department, that the applicant is ineligible for 
resumption of citizenship under section 313 of the Immigration and 
Nationality Act, the oath shall not be administered.
    (c) Certification of repatriation. Upon request and payment of the 
prescribed fee, a diplomatic or consular officer or the Department shall 
issue a certified copy of the application and oath administered to a 
woman repatriated under this section.

Service office in the form and manner prescribed by the Department of 
State and the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS).
