Report of Birth Aboard

 Birth of a U.S. Citizen in Thailand

   The Consular Report of Birth Abroad of a Citizen of the United States of America (CRBA) documents the birth of a United States Citizen in a foreign country.  It is accepted by all U.S. Government agencies as proof of a child’s U.S. citizenship.  Although not technically a birth certificate (which can only be issued by the local jurisdiction), the CRBA can be used in the U.S. in the same way as a birth certificate issued by a city or county registrar’s office.  You may apply for a child’s U.S. passport at the same time you apply for the CRBA.

   Most, but not all, children born abroad to a U.S. citizen parent are eligible to be documented as U.S. Citizens through issuance of a Consular Report of Birth Abroad and U.S. passport.

   Please note that the Bangkok Embassy can approve or deny CRBA applications only for children born in Thailand. 

   When departing Thailand for the first time after the child’s birth, Thai Immigration authorities may wish to see the child’s local (Thai) birth certificate. You should carry the Thai birth certificate when departing Thailand.

Documentary Requirements

Please provide the following original documents (these will be returned):

   1. Original Thai birth certificate for the child

   2. Proof of citizenship of U.S. citizen parent(s)

   *     U.S. Passport
   *     U.S. Birth Certificate
   *     Certificate of Naturalization  
   *     Passport or Identification Card of non-U.S. citizen parent
   *     Parent’s marriage certificate, if any (original or certified copy)
   *     Proof of termination of any previous marriages, if any in the form of:
Divorce decree (original or certified copy) or
Death certificate (original or certified copy)

   3. Parents’ previous passport(s)—needed if current passport does not cover the time of conception and pregnancy.

   In cases where the American citizenship of a child is to be established, consular officers may require other documentation before a Consular Report of Birth Abroad or passport can be issued. The consular officer will inform you of what documents may still be required.

DNA Examinations

   In some instances it is not possible to conclusively determine the U.S. citizenship of a child at birth.  In these cases, the Consular Officer may request a DNA exam to establish paternity. This will involve the supervised taking of saliva samples from the child and the father.  Please do not conduct independent DNA exams, as only results from the Embassy ordered tests can be used to determine a genetic relationship for citizenship purposes.
