I'm an American citizen living in Yemen. My daughter was born here but I will travel to Egypt for 10 or more months. Can I get a Consular's Report of Birth Abroad from the US Embassy in Cairo even though she wasn't born in Egypt? Would my husband also have to be present? She is 2 months old. We didn't go right away since it was around the time al-Qaeda threatened to attack it again. My husband is an Egyptian national.

How old is your daughter now? You should have reported birth to a US citizen while abroad at the nearest US consulate when she was born. Once she turns 5, you have a problem. As for your husband, is he a US citizen? If so, he should likewise go to the consulate and both of you report.

If you do not have the time, then it can wait. 10 months isn't too long to wait for the registration of birth. Besides, I do not think that you will be able to register your child's birth in a US Embassy in another country as they will not be able to check the authenticity of the birth certificate. Now, if you will have a passport issued to your child as well, then both parents need to be present or a notarized letter of consent will have to be presented to the consul.
