Sep 12, 2022 at 7:35 comment added Relaxed @MarkJohnson Yes, it may be the source, that's certainly not where you should send your request. The earlier phrase (“French nationality office”) was imprecise and poorly translated, this one is just flat-out wrong. Are you yet again scrambling to find Google evidence to cover your mistakes? Just edit the answer.

Sep 12, 2022 at 7:31 comment added Relaxed A birth certificate issued in the US is not, in itsself [sic], proof of French citizenship. Ultimately, that's also true of a French birth certificate, none of these documents are in and of themselves a proof of citizenship but both can be used to establish it, sometimes with additional formalities.
Sep 12, 2022 at 7:26 comment added Relaxed “French nationality office” in Paris is very imprecise. This is actually department (service) at the Paris tribunal.
Sep 12, 2022 at 7:25 comment added Relaxed The service public page on passports has slightly different information. If you are born abroad from parents born in France, you should be fine with just a birth certificate. You can also apply for the transcription of your birth certificate later on.
Sep 11, 2022 at 20:34 comment added Mark Johnson @jcaron I believe the main question is how the parents exercised their french citizenship (having a passport, ID etc.)
Sep 11, 2022 at 20:30 comment added jcaron Oooooh it looks like things were simplified a lot. Last time I had to go request a CNF (which in my case involved getting birth certificates up to my grandfather!) to get an ID card even though I was registered at Nantes.
