Special Baby Arrangements: In addition, in order to provide better customer service to our smallest clients, all applications for Consular Report of Births Abroad (CRBA) will be made via special family appointment.  The Report of Birth, Passport and Social Security Number application will all be taken care of in one-stop.  You may obtain information on the CRBA application process, learn about the documents required, and make an appointment by calling the American Citizen Services section at (51-1) 434-3000 or 618-2000.  In order to reduce the time the baby must wait, all paperwork should be completed before the appointment time.  Please also bring photos of the required size for the child’s first passport.
