Why does the American Embassy not use Passports to verify ID?
|
I am applying for a passport for my child and I was informed that I need to provide proof I am an American citizen. They already know I am American because they issued me my passport. I have been waiting since october and still no end in sight, rather, no passport in sight! Why on earth are they making it nearly impossible to get the passport for a two-year-old

the American Embassy does not know you have an US passport.you are one in thousand who are out of the US.
surely? you do not think that the US embassy would remember you?
do you have a certified birth certificate for your daughter?
she is the one who needs to have the right paper work to prove her citizenship.therefore,you..
if she was born overseas? prove to the Embassy that indeed she is an US citizen.
and? why did you not send a copy of your passport?
there are some limitation of an US citizen abroad, you must prove that you have lived in the US, for so many years in order to get your daughter's citizenship.
Documentation of U.S. Citizens Born Abroad
Documentation of United States Citizens Born Abroad Who Acquire Citizenship At Birth
The birth of a child abroad to U.S. citizen parent(s) should be reported as soon as possible to the nearest American consular office for the purpose of establishing an official record of the child’s claim to U.S. citizenship at birth. The official record is in the form of a Consular Report of Birth Abroad of a Citizen of the United States of America. This document, referred to as the Consular Report of Birth or FS-240, is considered a basic United States citizenship document. An original FS-240 is furnished to the parent(s) at the time the registration is approved.
REPORTING THE BIRTH
A Consular Report of Birth can be prepared only at an American consular office overseas while the child is under the age of 18. Usually, in order to establish the child’s citizenship under the appropriate provisions of U.S. law, the following documents must be submitted:
(1) an official record of the child’s foreign birth;
(2) evidence of the parent(s)’ U.S. citizenship (e.g., a certified birth certificate, current U.S.
passport, or Certificate of Naturalization or Citizenship);
(3) evidence of the parents’ marriage, if applicable; and
(4) affidavits of parent(s)’ residence and physical presence in the United States |

Most likely because you haven't provided the proper documents to prove it's your child - if your child had been kidnapped you would be thinking of it from a different perspective..... |
