If it was reported, it was recorded. And the result of that recording is either a CRBA or Passport issued at birth.
If it was not reported and recorded he has no documentary proof and will have to reconstruct the paper trail, starting with his and his Mother's birth certificates.
The US State Dept has mechanisms for this.
It's clear Cruz is likely an American Citizen by birth and is entitled to the privileges thereof. He should not have any issues closing the loop.
Unless he doesn't think it's important.
Precisely.
I've read that neither is required. But I've also read his mom did record at the Consulate. I suspect that will help some, but many just will continue to need "one more document".
Cheers!
And we do have his and his mom’s birth cert
