Children born abroad to a U.S. citizen parent may have a claim to U.S. citizenship. A Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA) is a certificate that serves as official evidence of U.S. citizenship issued to a child under the age of 18 who was born abroad to a U.S. citizen parent(s). It documents that the child acquired U.S. citizenship at birth.

Information about transmission requirements and application instructions are provided on the following website: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel/while-abroad/birth-abroad.html

Not all children born to U.S. citizen parents may have a claim to U.S. citizenship.
