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 order 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. This also applies to individuals born in the United States to non-US citizens. Such children are frequently referred to as Anchor Babies. The parents and other family members may at a later point immigrate to the United States through the American born child. A foreign individual born in the United States will in most cases automatically have Dual Citizenship at birth. Individuals born abroad must have their birth properly recorded by a U.S. Embassy or Consulate in order to be issued Form DS-240 or Form DS-1350.დ
