Birth Certificate General Information: A Birth Certificate is an official document
that verifies your identity, name, age, date of birth and place of birth. A
Birth Certificate is used for a different purposes including applying for a
U.S. passport. Birth Certificates are issued by each
individual state and the replacement process is different depending on where you
were born. The "Birth Certificate Replacement Guide" explains in detail the
Birth Certificate replacement procedure for each state in America.
Birth Certificate for US citizens Born Abroad: Individuals born outside the
United States are issued Form DS-240 (Consular Report of Birth Abroad of a
Citizen of the United States of America) or Form DS-1350 (Certification of Report of Birth).
These forms contain the same information as a US Birth Certificate and are
recognized as official documents. Form DS-240 and Form DS-1350 can only be
obtained if the birth was recorded at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate. Individuals
born abroad cannot obtain a U.S. Birth Certificate, just like U.S. born
individuals cannot apply for Form DS-240 or Form DS-1350. For more information
about how to obtain a copy Form DS-240 or Form DS-1350 it is recommended to
download the "Birth Certificate Replacement Guide".
Birth Certificate Eligibility Requirements: Only individuals born in
the United States can apply for a replacement of their U.S. Birth Certificate.

parents and other family members may at a later point
immigrate to the United States through

foreign individual born in the United States will in most cases automatically
have Dual Citizenship at birth. Individuals
