U.S. citizenship claims

---

 If you were born outside the U.S. to at least one U.S. citizen parent, you have several options to claim U.S. citizenship.

Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA):

• The most common way to prove your U.S. citizenship is by obtaining a Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA). The U.S. Department of State issues this document before the child turns 18 and serves as proof of U.S. citizenship.
• To apply for a CRBA, you would typically need:
• Your foreign birth record showing your parents' names
• Evidence of a parent's U.S. citizenship
• Your parents' marriage certificate, if applicable
• A statement from your U.S. citizen parent(s) listing their residence history in the U.S. and abroad before your birth

Applying for a U.S. Passport:

• If a CRBA was not filed on your behalf, another way to establish citizenship is by applying for a U.S. passport.
• You would need similar documentation as a CRBA, including proof of your parent's U.S. citizenship and residency details.

Certificate of Citizenship (Form N-600):

• Another option is to submit Form N-600 to obtain a Certificate of Citizenship, proving your U.S. citizenship.

These methods officially recognize your status as a U.S. citizen born abroad and can be relied on for travel, employment, and other legal matters.
