Abstract of Proposed Collection

    The purpose of the information collection is to determine whether a 
U.S. citizen/national parent has met the statutory physical presence or 
residence requirements to transmit U.S. citizenship to his or her child 
born abroad or in the United States for U.S. noncitizen nationality; to 
establish parentage of the child; and to fulfill the requirements of 8 
U.S.C. 1409(a), which permits acknowledgment of paternity under oath 
and requires the U.S. citizen father's written agreement to provide 
financial support for his child born abroad out of wedlock. The 
affidavit may also be submitted by the U.S. citizen parent(s) to 
explain why a local birth certificate is unavailable and to state the 
facts that are relevant to the birth abroad.

Methodology

    The information is collected in person or by mail. The Bureau of 
Consular Affairs is currently exploring options to make this 
information collection available electronically.
