OI 105.8 War Relocation Authority Records.
The War Relocation Authority Records of approximately 20,000 persons of Japanese race, who were moved
in-land from the west coast area of the United States during World War II, are now filed by name in the
National Archives in Washington, D. C., and are available for inspection by officer of this Service. It is not
necessary to request to check of the War Relocation Authority Records in connection with every Japanese
applicant for naturalization since the same information is contained in the records of the FBI. However, if the
FBI records do contain derogatory information concerning Japanese applicants for naturalization, a request
on Form G-325B may be made for a check of the War Relocation Authority Records. Even in such cases
requests for checks of the War Relocation Authority Records shall be kept to a minimum. (Revised.)
