8 FAM 102.5-3 Treaties and Conventions

(CT:CITZ-18; 04-09-2019)

a. Vienna Convention on Consular Relations:

(1) Article 5(d) provides that consular functions include issuing passports and travel documents to nationals of the sending state); and

(2) Article 5(f) provides that consular officers may "act as notary and civil registrar and in capacities of a similar kind, and perform certain functions of an administrative nature, provided that there is nothing contrary thereto in the laws and regulations of the receiving State."

b. Article 1, U.S. - Mexico "Treaty to Resolve Pending Boundary Differences and Maintain the Rio Grande and Colorado River as the International Boundary", November 23, 1970, TIAS 7313; entered into force April 18, 1972.

c. The United States is a party to the international covenant on civil and political rights. (See treaties in force to confirm whether the treaty is in force in the host country). Article 24 of this treaty provides:

2. Every child shall be registered immediately after birth and shall have a name.

8 FAM 102.5-4 Certain Uniform Acts

(CT:CITZ-13; 11-07-2018)

The Uniform Parentage Act of 2000 (UPA), last revised in 2002, includes provisions in Section 204 regarding the presumption of paternity. Uniform acts are model acts which U.S. states may enact in part or in their entirety. Not all states have adopted the UPA so individual state laws may still vary. Section 204 of the UPA provides:

SECTION 204. PRESUMPTION OF PATERNITY.

(a) A man is presumed to be the father of a child if:

(1) he and the mother of the child are married to each other and the child is born during the marriage;

(2) he and the mother of the child were married to each other and the child is born within 300 days after the marriage is terminated by death, annulment, declaration of invalidity, or divorce, or after a decree of separation;

(3) before the birth of the child, he and the mother of the child married each other in apparent compliance with law, even if the attempted marriage is or could be declared invalid, and the child is born during the invalid marriage or within 300 days after its termination by death, annulment, declaration of invalidity, or divorce, or after a decree of separation;

(4) after the birth of the child, he and the mother of the child married each other in apparent compliance with law, whether or not the marriage is or could be declared invalid, and he voluntarily asserted his paternity of the child, and:

(a) the assertion is in a record filed with state agency maintaining birth records;

(b) he agreed to be and is named as the childs father on the childs birth certificate; or

(5) for the first two years of the childs life, he resided in the same household with the child and openly held out the child as his own.

(b) A presumption of paternity established under this section may be rebutted only by an adjudication under Article 6.

8 FAM 102.5-5 Certain Jointly-Executed Memoranda of Understanding

(CT:CITZ-13; 11-07-2018)

a. The Department and Department of Defense (DoD) have indicated in a joint message (airgram circular CG-673 of April 12, 1960) that those members of the Armed Forces who are authorized to administer oaths under 10 U.S.C. 1044(a), are authorized and empowered to administer oaths within the meaning of 22 U.S.C. 213. This authorization extends to any oath necessary in connection with form DS-2029, or as otherwise authorized in 8 FAM.

b. A Memorandum of Understanding between the DoD and the Department details the implementation of the DoD Passport Application Acceptance Program and those authorized by the Department to administer the program.

8 FAM 102.5-6 Certain Attorney General Opinions

(CT:CITZ-7; 08-14-2018)

a. In general, the Department is not bound by nor required to follow Attorney General or BIA Opinions when adjudicating passport and CRBA applications. However, there are certain opinions that the Department has chosen to follow.

b. The doctrine set forth in the Attorney General's opinion of May 24, 1962, in the case of Freddie Norman Chatty-Suarez, 9 I. & N. Dec. 670 (1962), is that potentially expatriating acts performed while a person was unaware of a possible claim to U.S. citizenship do not cause loss of nationality. Under that doctrine, any person wholly unaware of a possible claim to U.S. citizenship should not be held to have ceased to be a citizen by failure to meet the retention requirements.
