Consular report of a birth abroad

[Kaitie64 0]

I was wondering if anyone has applied for a consular report of a birth abroad for their child with their US citizen spouse, specifically in Canada? We have an appointment next week for our son and they don't really tell you what you need as proof and what is required to have him declared a US citizen. I'd appreciate any information, thanks

haven't done it myself, but I think all you need is the baby's birth certificate, and both parents passports.

tis correct!,....baby's birth certificate, both passports, and even if possible,...to bring your birth certificates/marriage certificates aswell,...so basically some of the same evidence you would've used for the K-1/K3

I've done this in Germany and they also wanted proof that I have lived in the U.S. for at least five years. Luckily I had my college transcripts with me. They also asked me about my high school and where my parents are from ... basically they want you to have ties to the U.S.

This is true in Vancouver. We applied on behalf of my daughter in 2002, and I was required to bring my high school transcripts and a letter from my jr. high stating that I did indeed attend school there in order to satisfy my 5 year requirement. I brought my birth certifcate, my DH's, and my DD's. My passport. Marriage certificate, pictures, evidence of relationship. Also my B.C. driver's license and any info on my status in Canada (for me, it was my permanent resident card). They want you to be a legal resident here before they'll consider issuing the birth abroad for your child.

Hope this helps, and good luck to you!
