Sec.  50.7  Consular Report of Birth Abroad of a Citizen of the United 

States of America.



    (a) Upon application and the submission of satisfactory proof of 

birth, identity and nationality, and at the time of the reporting of the 

birth, the consular officer may issue to the parent or legal guardian, 

when approved and upon payment of a prescribed fee, a Consular Report of 

Birth Abroad of a Citizen of the United States of America.

    (b) Amended and replacement Consular Reports of Birth Abroad of a 

Citizen of the United States of America may be issued by the Department 

of State's Passport Office upon written request and payment of the 

required fee.

    (c) When it reports a birth under Sec.  50.6, the Department shall 

furnish the Consular Report of Birth Abroad of a Citizen of the United 

States of America to the parent or legal guardian upon application and 

payment of required fees.

    (d) A consular report of birth, or a certification thereof, may be 

canceled if it appears that such document was illegally, fraudulently, 

or erroneously obtained, or was created through illegality or fraud. The 

cancellation under this paragraph of such a document purporting to show 

the citizenship status of the person to whom it was issued shall affect 

only the document and not the citizenship status of the person in whose 

name the document was issued. A person for or to whom such document has 

been issued or made shall be given at such person's last known address, 

written notice of the cancellation of such document, together with the 

specific reasons for the cancellation and the procedures for review 

available under the provisions in 22 CFR 51.81 through 51.89.
