As I understand, a birth certificate is not sufficient proof for the children of a US citizen born outside the US. You need to request a citizenship certificate. | |

I was born in Greece to a Greek mother and American father. I was a US citizen all of my childhood which was spent in Greece, and I had to have a residence permit to reside there. In my 20ies I asked for and received my Greek citizenship, but I had to actively do this, despite having both a jus sanguinis and a jus soli right to that citizenship. You don't magically become a citizen just because you have reason to think you would be granted citizenship if you ask for it. | |

It will cover entry and stay anywhere in the EU, Iceland, Norway, and Switzerland and for anything else, your US passport should do. | |

| Sep 11, 2022 at 12:39 | comment | added | Mark Johnson | If your parents didn't register your birth to the French civil register, you must petition for a French nationality certificate from the French Nationality Office in Paris if you reside outside of France (which I assume from the wording of your question). Only then are you eligable to recieve a French ID/Passport and to be treated as an EU citizen. | |
