US Consular Report of Birth Abroad...
and as of December 31, 2006, EVERYbody down to the baby in arms must have a passport from whatever country they are a citizen of, to enter the US. No more birth certificates only for the little ones, and if the birth cert says jamaica, they are clearly going ot need some other proof of citizenship for US...in the age of terrorism, paperwork is going to be necessary. If the kid is every travelling stateside that is.
