APPLICATION FOR CONSULAR REPORT OF BIRTH ABROAD

OF A CITIZEN OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

ABOUT THIS APPLICATION

A child born abroad to a U.S. citizen parent or parents may acquire U.S. citizenship at birth if certain statutory

requirements are met. If such a child acquired U.S. citizenship at birth, the child may be issued a Consular Report of

Birth Abroad of a U.S. Citizen (CRBA) if the application is filed before the child's 18th birthday. The purpose of this Form

DS-2029 is to collect the information necessary to determine whether a child born abroad to a U.S. citizen parent or

parents acquired U.S. citizenship at birth and therefore is eligible for a CRBA. For more information about birth abroad

and acquisition of U.S. citizenship at birth, please visit the birth abroad page and the U.S. citizenship page on

travel.state.gov. Only the child's parent(s), legal guardian(s), person(s) acting in loco parentis or the child may apply for a

CRBA on the child's behalf. The application generally must be submitted in the consular district where the applicant was

born and signed before a U.S. consular officer, a consular agent, or, in the case of children born in U.S. military

hospitals, a designated military official. A CRBA is proof of U.S. citizenship; however, it is not a travel document and

does not take the place of a passport for travel purposes.

IMPORTANT: You must provide the required evidence listed below before we can process the application. Please follow

the instructions below.

STEP 1: Read the instructions before completing and submitting this application. The instructions contain important

information about completing the application and list what documents can be submitted as evidence to

support the application.

STEP 2: Complete Section A of the application and assemble the required documentary evidence. Note: Do not sign

the application or complete Sections B or C until you are in front of a designated U.S. consular official or

military acceptance agent.

STEP 3: Make an appointment with the U.S. embassy or consulate online or contact the U.S. consular agency or

designated U.S. military official.

STEP 4: Take the unsigned application and supporting documents with you to your appointment at the U.S. embassy,

consulate, consular agency, or with a military acceptance agent.

STEP 5: Once the citizenship claim has been approved, the CRBA will be printed in the United States and sent to the

address you designate in the United States or the address you designate abroad in countries where the

mailing of U.S. citizenship documents is permitted unless you indicate that you will pick it up at the U.S.

embassy, consulate or consular agency. Applicants are responsible for any mailing costs related to the

mailing of the CRBA.

WHAT TO SUBMIT WITH THIS APPLICATION

1. Child's birth certificate.

2. Evidence of the parent(s)' U.S. citizenship and identity. This may consist of a U.S. passport, U.S. passport card,

CRBA, Naturalization Certificate, Certificate of Citizenship or timely-filed U.S. birth certificate. For other forms of

acceptable U.S. citizenship evidence, contact the U.S. embassy or consulate. A valid passport or government-

issued photo ID must be presented as proof of identity.

3. Evidence of the U.S. citizen parent(s)' physical presence or residence in the United States prior to the birth of the

child. Such evidence may include but is not limited to affidavits, school, employment, tax, bank, and medical

records, utility bills, rent receipts, or other official public documents. Evidence of time spent abroad working for

the U.S. government, U.S. Armed Forces or qualifying international organization, or as a dependent child of a

person working abroad for such entities prior to the birth of the child is also acceptable in some cases.

4. Parents' marriage certificate, if applicable.

5. Evidence of the termination of any previous marriages of the parents (divorce decree, annulment decree, or

death certificate).

6. If a person other than a parent or the child is applying for the CRBA, that person must present a certified copy of

legal guardianship or notarized affidavit from the parent(s) authorizing the person to submit the application.

NOTE: You must submit original documents or copies certified by the custodian of the record. Generally, we will return

your documents after we have seen them. We cannot accept photocopies or notarized copies.
