CRBA and Egyptian birth certificate

[punisher.man 0]

Hello everyone,

I have a question regarding the CRBA issued by the American embassy in Egypt. I had a baby 4 months ago here in Egypt and have an embassy appointment next month to give her my American citizenship through a CRBA. On the embassy's website it says I have to bring "the child's foreign birth certificate" in order to issue her a CRBA. I went to the egyptian medical government office yesterday to try and pick up my daughter's computer printed birth certificate, because I was told back in december that it would be ready in April. Well, the medical government office manager told me that all egyptians with foreign spouses have to wait 6 months to 1 year before they will get the computer birth certificate, unlike egyptian husband and wife which only wait 4-6 months. I would really like to visit my family in America this summer and bring my daughter. Will the US embassy accept the handwritten birth certificate that i was issued by this same medical government back in december (a few days after her birth)? The handwritten one allows her to get immunizations from the government, and this birth certificate was issued to me from the egyptian medical government. Please if anyone has any experience doing this same process in Egypt, please help!!

Yes sir. They will accept it. Your not the first nor will you be the last that has the same issue.

You need to do something important tho, you will need to go to the medical ministry we call it(se77a) ask your husband about it. Its in ramsis i think. Last time i went was three years ago. Anyways. You need to translate the BC there. They will give you an original certified stamped english copy. You can actually use that copy only to get your kids US birth cert. thats it. If you need more help. Don't hesitate.

Wish you the best luck inshallah

Yeah , they accept the handwritten one you took after her birth ... just translate it in any official translator , a copy of your passport and her father passport , your marriage certificate and if its in arabic translate it too , a picture as far as i remember of the baby , 205 dollars for both CRBA and passport .both parents must be available and the baby as well ... just no need to have a certified english copy .. translate the handwritten one by any translator ..

thats what we did for both my kids ... good luck
