A replacement Consular Report of Birth Abroad
(FS-240) can be obtained by writing to:
Vital Records Section
Passport Services
1111 19th Street, NW, Suite 510
Washington, D.C. 20522-1705
A written request should include: (1) full name of
child at birth (plus any adoptive names); (2) date and place of
birth; (3) names of parents; (4) serial number, if known, of the
FS-240 (on those issued after November 1, 1990); (5) any available
passport information; (6) signature of requester; and (7) notarized
affidavit for a replacement FS-240. The fee for a replacement
FS-240 is $30.00.
The same basic procedures should be followed in order
to correct or amend information on a previously issued Consular
Report of Birth Abroad. Make check or bank draft drawn on a bank in
the United States, or money order payable to the "Department of
State." The Department will assume no responsibility for cash lost
in the mail.
Documents will be provided to the person who is the
subject of the Report of Birth, the subject’s parents, the subject’s
legal guardian, an authorized government agency, or a person who
submits written authorization from the subject of the Report of
Birth.
