A Certificate of Nonexistence of Record (CNR) — sometimes informally called a "no record letter," "negative certificate," or "certification of no record" — is an official federal document confirming that, after a diligent search of the issuing agency's records systems, no record exists for the named subject within the scope of that search.
CNRs are an unusual category of federal record because they document the absence of a fact rather than its existence. For foreign authorities, a CNR provides legally authoritative evidence that a person has not, as of the date of the search, been registered, naturalized, indexed, or otherwise recorded in a particular U.S. federal system.
The most common CNR — and the one shown in the sample document at the top of this page — is the USCIS Certificate of Nonexistence of Record, issued by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to confirm that no U.S. naturalization or related immigration record exists for the subject.
