BIRTH AFFIDAVIT
U.S. Department of State
PURPOSE A birth affidavit may be submitted (with an application for a U.S. passport) when an acceptable birth certificate cannot be obtained for a person born in the United
States. The affidavit must be accompanied by a photocopy of the front and back side of the affiant's identification and, when applicable, a notice from the
appropriate authorities indicating that no birth record exists. A birth affidavit may also be submitted in conjunction with other birth records. A birth affidavit must be
made by an individual who has personal knowledge of the facts of the applicant's birth in the United States; it is preferred that the affidavit is made by an older blood relative
or by the attending physician. The affidavit must be signed in front of a notary, unless it is being submitted to an authorized Passport Agent or Passport Acceptance Agent.
The affidavit shall state briefly how the affiant's knowledge was acquired. Requests for copies of this affidavit should be made at the time of execution.
