What is the difference between G-1041 and G-1041A?

Form G-1041 requests an index search of USCIS records, while G-1041A requests full copies of the records once the index is located.

Can I submit the G-1041A online instead of by mail?

Yes, USCIS offers an online portal for genealogy requests, but the fillable PDF is required for many detailed or complex cases.

How much does the genealogy request cost?

USCIS charges a fee for each copy of a document requested (up to $80 per document). Check the current fee schedule on the USCIS website.

Do I need to provide proof of death for the person I’m requesting?

If the record holder is deceased and under 100 years old, you must include a death certificate or other acceptable proof of death.

What should I do if I receive a rejection notice?

Review the notice for missing signatures, incorrect edition dates, or incomplete supporting documents. Correct the issue and resend the form.

Is the Formize filler secure for personal data?

Yes. Formize uses SSL encryption and does not store your data on our servers after the PDF is generated.

G-1041A – Genealogy Records Request (Fillable PDF)

The G-1041A is the official USCIS Genealogy Records Request form. It lets you obtain copies of historical immigration records for yourself or a relative. Instead of printing, scanning, and mailing a static PDF, you can fill the form directly on our site using the Formize PDF Filler – a secure, browser‑based editor that saves you time and eliminates formatting errors.

What Is the G-1041A Form?

G-1041A is used when you need full copies of an immigrant’s USCIS file, such as birth certificates, naturalization records, or travel documents. It is different from Form G-1041, which only requests an index search.

How to Complete the G-1041A with Formize

Follow the simple steps below to fill out the form online and download a completed PDF ready for mailing.

Common Mistakes & Tips for a Successful Submission

Use the latest edition – the form edition date is 04/01/24. Our filler always loads the current version.
Sign the form – the signature field is required; you can type your name and add a digital signature.
Provide English translations for any foreign‑language documents.
Do not send original documents unless specifically requested.

Where to Send Your Completed Request

After you download the filled PDF, mail it with the required fee to the USCIS Chicago Lockbox:

USCIS Attn: Genealogy Program
P.O. Box 805925
Chicago, IL 60680‑4188

For faster processing, you can also submit the request online through the USCIS Genealogy Program portal, but the fillable PDF remains the most reliable method for complex cases.
