We’ve seen the birth certificate, but where is the Consular Report of Birth Abroad?
I’m sure Ted’s mom went to the consulate, presented documentation of her citizenship, accounted for ALL of her international travel outside of the U.S. covering the duration of her ENTIRE LIFE, and paid the fee, which document is used in place of his birth certificate for ALL government purposes. Where is that document?
Weird.
Or did he apply for it after becoming an adult?
Citizenship abroad isn’t automatic. You have to CLAIM IT.
I know a family who had a child in a European country without birthright citizenship. Until his parents claimed his U.S. citizenship, he was a child without a country. It was the only time they ever used his original birth certificate.

You are exactly right..where is the CRBA?..It’s becoming obvious that we already have the answer.
