Tax Returns Enough?

[SennaBrigante 92]

Our baby will be born in a few weeks and I'm trying to gather all the documents we'll need this early before things start getting hectic (I'm a first time mom).

My husband has never been issued a passport and never been outside the US. Is there a gov agency or something where we can request for a certificate or an official letter stating that? That would be the easiest way to show that he can pass on citizenship to our daughter.

If not, would tax returns/transcripts be enough? The last time my husband asked for his high school transcript, he almost had to fly to Columbus from Texas just to get it. That school is not reliable at all.

Thanks!

No agency will state you this. If he was born in the US you can use his birth certificate as proof to USC.

If not, would tax returns/transcripts be enough? The last time my husband asked for his high school transcript, he almost had to fly to Columbus from Texas just to get it. That school is not reliable at all.

Tax returns are not a valid source of proof of physical presence, since any USC, even living abroad has to file them. School transcript are usually the best way to proof the physical presence.
