Parents of a U.S. citizen child born in the FSM should report the birth to the American Citizen Services (ACS) Unit. If the child was born an American citizen, the Embassy will issue a Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA). The parents typically also apply for the child’s first U.S. passport. All CRBA services are by appointment only; you can make an appointment by calling 691-320-2187.
We strongly recommend, and retain the right to require, that both parents and the child be present for the CRBA interview. If you are applying for the child’s first passport at the same time as the CRBA, please note that both parents and the child must be present.
Supporting documentation required for a Consular Report of Birth Abroad includes:
To apply for the child’s first passport in addition to the CRBA, you must provide:
To apply for the child’s Social Security card, you must also provide:
After you fill out form SS-5-FS online, print it and bring it with you the day of your appointment. If you have trouble completing the form online, you can print it and complete it by hand. Physical PresenceThis is the actual time when the parent was physically within the borders of the United States. This means that any travel outside the United States, including vacations, must be excluded. Maintaining a residence in the U.S. does not constitute physical presence. Please submit old passports as evidence, including FSM passports used to enter or leave the United States. Other evidence, such as U.S. school transcripts showing periods of attendance, W-2 forms, pay stubs, utility bills, U.S. employment references, old letters, etc., may be required. Note: Any periods of time spent overseas with the United States Military/Government or qualifying international organization (such as the United Nations) may be counted as physical presence in the United States for transmission of citizenship purposes. Time spent as a dependent of such person may also be computed as physical presence. Military records or other proof may be requested. Additional InstructionsIn cases where the American citizenship of a child is to be established, consular officers may request additional evidence of family relationship before a passport or a Consular Report of Birth Abroad can be issued. Such documentation may include marriage/family photos, remittance slips, pre-natal records such as pregnancy photos, hospital bills, sonograms or other medical records. In some cases, consular officers may request additional information. These documents should not be mailed to the Consular Section. They should be presented in person at the time an application is filed at the Embassy that has jurisdiction over the applicant’s place of birth or current place of residence. |
If you need reasonable accommodation for your appointment, we encourage you to request your accommodation immediately once you schedule your appointment. We make every effort to provide accommodations to persons with disabilities and medical conditions. Reasonable accommodations vary, depending on the situation and the person’s needs.
Examples of accommodations include, but are not limited to:
