No, the state department says that the process is to have a CRBA or a newborn passport to register a child born overseas. They aren’t my rules. They are your government’s rules.

The State Department says that one may fill out the form and strongly suggests doing so because it will make life easier. But it does not in any way affect one’s citizenship.

Proof 1) one can fill it out anytime up until one is 18 years old. How could filling this document out years after one’s birth somehow give citizenship ACQUIRED AT BIRTH?

Proof 2) the second document, Certificate of Citizenship, is that for which folks apply if they’re over 18. If this is about “validation” rathef than documentation, how can you even apply for it, having missed out on the first form?

These forms are entirely unnecessary to determine Sen. Cruz’ status as a US natural born citizenship, and the desire to see them is voyeuristic.

No, you can show your foreign BC, a parent's US BC, plus your parent's marriage license.
