Sorry if this is common sense to some of you but I don't want to take any chances with this paperwork.

I was born on a US naval base in the Philippines (Subic Bay), and have always been a US citizen as far as I know.

I know that when I was a baby I obtained a US passport from Manilla and I have a current US passport (last renewed in 2006) and a US Naval Hospital birth certificate.

What do I answer for the following 2 questions?

I-129F Question #10:

- My citizenship was acquired through (Birth in the U.S., Naturalization, Parents)

- Have you obtained a certificate of citizenship in your name? (Yes/No)

If "Yes," give certificate number, date, and place it was issued.

*Note that my U.S. Naval Hospital birth certificate doesn't have an actual certificate number on it but it does say at the bottom "The official birth certificate for SavantGarde is available in Olongapo City, Republic of the Philippines.

The correct answer is "Parents"

You are misreading the next line. The certificate number relates to a Naturalization certificate, not a birth certificate, which will have an A# (I think it is the A#). Since your citizenship is through parents, not Naturalization, you will not have a certificate number.

Naturalization N-400

The line is actually about a certificate of citizenship.

My situation is exactly the same...I was born on a US naval base in the Philippines. You need to put BIRTH THROUGH PARENTS. On the line below where it asks if you received a certificate in your name, you put NO.

The better answer is Follow the Example Forms, link at the top of this page.
