Q:  How do I prove my child’s acquired citizenship?

A: To prove acquired citizenship, you will need to apply for a Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA) at a U.S. embassy or consulate. You’ll need to provide: 

•    Proof of the U.S. citizen parent’s citizenship. 

•    The child’s foreign birth certificate. 

•    Evidence of the parent’s residency or physical presence in the U.S. 

•    Legal documentation of parentage (especially important in ART cases).
