BIRTH REPORT
OF AMERICAN CITIZEN ABROAD:
The consulate Report of Birth Abroad documents the birth of a
USA citizen in a foreign state. It is accepted by all US Government agencies as

certificate (it is a certification of the facts of birth as recorded in a
foreign birth document.) However, it can be used in the same way that the birth
