Consular Report of Birth Abroad

[JackInTheBox 0]

I was reading about this...if my fiance's mom (who is an American citizen) filed one at the embassy my fiance would be an American Citizen already and wouldn't have to prove her mom lived in the US for 5 years?

My fiance thinks that she may have been registered at the embassy. We will call Monday to find out. Is their a specific division we should call or just ask to speak to any Consulate?

Here is stuff I found about it

I don't quite understand what it means. I wish they were 100% clear

I hope she has it. She said believes her parents registered her at the embassy so this is what it would mean right?

If I am reading this right then this is pretty much all she would need to get a US passport right?

Anyone know any thing about these?

I am so excited but I don't know if I should be ...my fiance says she believes that she was "registered" at the embassy...does that mean they will have a Consular Report of Birth Abroad? Is that all we need basically for the passport. Anyone? Someone has to know?

When you live abroad and report the birth of your child to the US consulate, you receive a Consular Report of Birth Abroad which serves a kind of as a duplicate birth certificate and, most importantly, as proof of the child's US citizenship. So your fiancee's Mom should have received this important piece of paper when she filled out all the required paperwork. If she lost it, you can file for a replacement.
