Consular Report of Birth Abroad

Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA)

  • A Consular Report of Birth Abroad of Citizen of the United States of America is a formal document certifying the acquisition of U.S. citizenship at birth of a person born abroad to a U.S. citizen parent(s).  It is a proof of U.S. citizenship.  It is not a birth certificate, such as is issued by a government-authorized bureau or office of vital statistics. 

    Full instructions regarding the application form, supporting documents  and fees are provided at the Travel.State.Gov website at the following link: Applying for a Consular Report of Birth Abroad:   http://www.travel.state.gov/travel/living/living_5497.html  

    At U.S. Embassy Port Louis, fees must be paid in cash, in U.S. dollars or Mauritian rupees.  We do not accept checks or credit cards for payment.

    All non-emergency consular services for U.S. Citizens are provided by appointment only.  U.S. Citizens should contact the Consular Section at (230) 202 4432 or via e-mail for an appointment prior to visiting the Embassy to ensure the availability of consular staff.
