<p>As an update, things have changed with the new online application. When you fill out your CPDR (Candidate Personal Data Record) you are instructed to submit State Form 240 if you were born outside of the US to US citizens.</p>
<p>“The official record is in the form of a Consular Report of Birth Abroad of a Citizen of the United States of America. This document, referred to as the Consular Report of Birth or FS-240, is considered a basic United States citizenship document. An original FS-240 is furnished to the parent(s) at the time the registration is approved.”
