Can a child born outside the U.S. become a U.S. citizen? Absolutely—but it takes more than just having an American parent. In this video, we explain how the Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA) works, what documents you need, and how the rules differ based on the parents’ citizenship and marital status.

Whether you’re living overseas or just had a child abroad, this guide will walk you through:

✅ How to apply for a CRBA
✅ What qualifies a child for automatic U.S. citizenship
✅ Requirements for married vs. unmarried parents
✅ How residency and proof of parentage play a role
