What is a Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA)?
A CRBA application is submitted following the birth of a US citizen outside the US. This is typically done simultaneously with the applications for a child’s first passport application and social security number.

How we can help
We will assess each case to ascertain whether US citizenship was transmitted at the time of the child’s birth and prepare the application materials to be submitted in connection with the registration application.

What is Renunciation of US Citizenship?
A US citizen who no longer wishes to hold US citizenship must appear before a diplomatic or consular officer abroad and sign an oath of renunciation.

How we can help
Whether US citizenship was obtained by birth or through naturalisation, our US team will advise on the steps necessary to renounce citizenship. Our attorneys will review the facts of the case to highlight any concerns regarding future admissibility, and will provide thorough advice to the client regarding the process.
