Replacing a Lost Consular Report of Birth Abroad
A U.S. Embassy or Consulate does not maintain copies of Consular Reports of Birth Abroad (CRBA) once they have been issued. These records are forwarded to the Department of State in Washington, D.C. Therefore, persons seeking to obtain replacements or copies of a previously-issued CRBA should make a request to the Department of State. Here are the latest instructions on making such a request.
