5. Some families get a
passport (link
form and procedure) for their kids right away. :) We are not getting
these until we plan to go abroad. Not anytime soon for us. See above
note from SS administration. This SHOULD prove citizenship, but has
been problematic for many. Therefore, we are not going this route. In order to keep it valid you will have to personally see to it being renewed. Will they do this themselves as a young adult? You can not guarantee that. I think this is just too risky. To
apply for the passport your child will need to have one of these
documents. (this is from the US passport office) :
You can prove your US citizenship with one of the following:
- Original Birth Certificate (if born in the United States);
- or Old (undamaged) passport;
- or Original Certificate of Citizenship or FS-240, DS-1350 ( if born outside the US );
- or Original Certificate of Naturalization issued by the Immigration and Naturalization Office.
