CONSULAR REPORT OF BIRTH ABROAD

Congratulations on the Birth of your child!  Follow the below steps in order to process the Consular Report of Birth Abroad and Passport application.

Step 1: To start the process of the Consular report of birth abroad, go to the following website, https://travel.state.gov. Click on MyTravelGov in the upper right hand corner.  At the bottom of the page that opens, click on "GO TO MYTRAVELGOV ACCOUNT LOG-IN."  Click on the icon.  When the page opens, click on create account.  Once you have created the account, you will receive an email to activate the account.  Once the account is activated, you can then apply for the e-CRBA.

In order for your application to process correctly, you will need to provide the Wiesbaden Passport Office email address (usarmy.wiesbaden.id-europe.mbx.passport-office@army.mil) in your online application when asked for the "Contact Information for Parents."

Step 2: Once the Consulate has accepted your application (7-10 business days), the Consulate will send your application to the Wiesbaden Passport office and we will contact you to schedule your appointment.

Step 3: Please print the below checklist and passport application instructions to properly prepare for your appointment. Bring all required documents from the checklist with you to the appointment.

*NOTE* - Both parents and child must be present at time of appointment.

STATUS OF FORCES AGREEMENT (SOFA) INFORMATION

SOFA: Active duty proof of SOFA is ID Card and orders. Dependents and Civilians have 90 days to obtain proof of SOFA after arrival. If SOFA expires, you revert to tourist status and again have up to 90 days to obtain a new proof of SOFA.

SOFA STAMPS in No-Fee/Official Passports are the approved solution for dependents and civilians and expire when the passport does. SOFA cards are the work-around, if there is no stamp. The SOFA card is issued to the highest held passport and expires the earliest of end-of-tour, ID card expiration, or passport expiration. It is not transferrable to another passport and it is illegal to have both a stamp and a card.
