Father Nationality on birth certificate

[Uriensf5 0]

Im a naturalized us citizen who had a child abroad in my home country,when i went to get my newborn birth certificate they put the nationality of my home country on the certificate even thought i told them im a us citizen.now will that be a problem when i go get my child her CRBA that the birth certificate states my home country nationality not american?.also do i need a copy of my divorce for the crba? i divorced my ex a couple of years back.

Are you no longer a citizen of your origin country?  If you are still a citizen of that country, then it's not an error that they put that nationality in the birth certificate.  That doesn't invalidate your US citizenship.  When you go for the CRBA appointment for your child, your US passport and/or naturalization certificate will be your proof that you are a US citizen.

Why would the child not be a citizen of that country?

Then the info on the birth cert is correct. Just provide proof of your US citizenship and proof of physical presence in the US for 5 years when you go for CRBA appointment.

What about divorce decree do i need it? I was previously married.

Hey, so what you should do is go to the US embassy or consulate website and look up the country's specific CRBA requirements. The application is the same, but some countries require more supporting information. For instance, for me, they had me include pictures of not only me during my pregnancy but my child even though I registered her when she was a few months old. 

 

You mentioned that you are a naturalized citizen, where you one BEFORE baby was born?

 

If you are applying in Frankfurt, Mexico City, Paris, Sydney, Tokyo, or Toronto, you may be eligible to apply for your child’s CRBA online. 

 

 

They need your child's original birth certificate just to see an official record of you and your spouse listed as the child's parents.

 

If you are married to the child's other parent, submit your marriage certificate and your divorce papers from previous partners. (You know, so they know that your current marriage is legal and your aren't committing bigamy)
