Is it possible to have a usa passport?

Julie

Yes.
You need to apply in the US.

Andy

There is more rubbish among the answers here than I care to take issue with.

The USA and Canada, and many Latin American countries, grant nationality jus soli, by birth, to all but the children of diplomats (and if the spouse of the diplomat is American, then the baby is American anyway).

All you need to do is to provide a copy of your state (or territory) birth certificate, and prove that you are the person named in the birth certificate, and a US Passport Agency or diplomatic or consular mission will issue you a passport. After, perhaps, a fraud check.

With regard to Andy's answer, both my daughter and son-in- law are British and have British passports. Their baby daughter was born in the US, is an American citizen and travels with an American Passport. She has even been asked to vouchsafe for her parents at immigration control even though she could hardly speak. Some officials do have a sense of humour up there!

If you were born there then its possible that you may get one but ask at the Embassy.

If you were born in a country , you are a citizen of that country. But you have to prove you are actually the person on the birth certificate.

I'm amused you should ask "Yahoo answers" instead of , say, the American embassy in the country where you now live. Why don't you approach them direct, unless you have something to hide?

I wonder if you have a birth certificate and evidence to prove your claim, because they will certainly ask to see it.

If you were born here, then you can definately get a passpaort. go to your local post office if you are in the USA, a bring a birth certificate and you can get one there. Most post offices even take your pictures there for the pass port.

Yes you can have a passport, I don't know the process but you can have one - as long as you never have taken a sworn oath that you have rejected your citizenship in the US and pledged it to another country - then you are screwed.

If you are born in the US = US citizen

Hiraeth

Yes.

Got milk? Good. Got birth certificate? Even better. Go to a nearest US Embassy and claim your passport.

If you were born in the US you can apply for a passport...

You will need your birth certificate to prove you were....

Also if your parents are US citizens (one you can apply)

Go to a US embassy with paper work and you will get started....

botn? if you were born in the USA and are a US citizen, then you can apply for a US Passport. If not, you have to provide more information.

yes,you are entitled to a US citizenship

American citizenship is conferred upon those persons born on American soil, regardless of the nationality of the parents. So if you were born in the US you can apply for a US passport. You will need your birth certificate and other identification.

American citizenship is also granted to the children of an American citizen, regardless of where the children were born.

Not all countries grant citizenship on such terms. Some countries do not grant citizenship except by virtue of a parent also being a citizen. For example, a child born in the Cayman Islands to parents who are US citizens does not obtain Caymanian citizenship since neither parent has it.

Also, some countries do not automatically grant citizenship to foreign born children on the basis of the parent's citizen ship. For example a child born to a Jamaican couple in the Cayman Islands does not automatically obtain Jamaican citizenship at birth. And sense the child also does not obtain Caymanian citizenship, such a child has no citizenship at birth. However there is a process under Jamaican law to apply for citizenship for such a child.

i would look at the embassy's website or go in to the embassy as they can tell u i think you can get one though as i think the rules only changed in 1983 where if you are born after that date then u are not guarantied to be a USA citizen.
