What can I do to get a us passport if I was born in Canada but my?
US citizen parents having children abroad really should file a Consular Report of Birth Abroad as soon as possible. It makes life easier. But that has to be completed before the child is 18, so you are left with two routes. One is to provide sufficient documentation to get a passport directly. The other is to get a Certificate of Citizenship and use that to get a passport. Getting a passport in your situation will require quite a lot of documentation, starting with a certified copy of your Canadian birth certificate. Then gather proof that the parents listed on your birth certificate were US citizens. Youll need a certified copy of your parents marriage license, documentary evidence of your parents presence in the United States prior to your birth, identity documents for yourself, and an affidavit of parentage from your parents. Also get form DS-11, passport application. Any application for a passport outside the US requires you to appear at a US embassy or consulate. I suggest you call the embassy first to see if there are any special requirements for your particular situation, and you can discuss with them what requirements must be met for you to be a US citizen. See: Apply Outside the United States Alternately, you can apply for a US Certificate of Citizenship by filing form N-600. For more on that see: N-600, Application for Certificate of Citizenship Frequently Asked Questions Then use the Certificate of Citizenship as proof of citizenship for your passport application. You will still have to appear at an embassy or consulate. Note: Do not attempt to enter the US with a Canadian passport. US law requires US citizens to use a US passport when entering the US, regardless of what other citizenships they hold.
