My wife is planning to give birth of our new baby in China (long story!). I'm a US citizen while she is on her 2 year green card. I was told I can easily get my baby a US passport at the US consulate in China so I could bring her back here in the states. Is that really an easy process and how long does it usually take to get all the paperworks done at the consulate?

TIA

Take a look at the consulate's website... CRBA procedure should be documented

YMMV

Ya - you'll / she'll need a coupla things.

1. Consular Record of Birth Abroad (CRBA). Those can be had at the US Embassy/Consulate that yer lass is 'homed' to, in China. A new passport , for the child, is issued as a result of a CRBA.

2. birth certificate, then 'Notarial Translation' of Birth Certificate (for the CRBA).

3. a China Exit Permit Stamp, in the new USA Passport. These are sometimes hard to get, depending on WHERE SHE IS. It's issued by a Chinese Gov Department, can't remember which one, for now.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !

Well, it all seems rather straightforward, at least on the surface. As far as the time need, how long does it usually take to get all the paperworks (incl. passport for the baby) done from the US Consulate?

My wife is expecting by mid-July btw.

And will the US Consulate in Guangzhou mailed it to you or you need to pick it up yourself in person?
