14.11.2025 13:54:42 Yes, the Consulate of Ukraine can assist you in registering your child as a Ukrainian citizen. If one or both parents are Ukrainian citizens, you can apply for citizenship for your child, even if the child was born abroad. The consulate will typically require documents such as your child's foreign birth certificate, parents' passports, and proof of citizenship. You should contact the nearest Ukrainian consulate in the United States, such as the Consulate General of Ukraine in Houston, to schedule an appointment and inquire about the specific steps and required documents.
14.11.2025 13:54:48 From a legal perspective, if you or the child's other parent are Ukrainian citizens, your child may be eligible for Ukrainian citizenship by descent under Ukrainian law (specifically, the Law on Citizenship of Ukraine). Since the child was born in Houston, Texas, they automatically acquire U.S. citizenship at birth, but Ukraine allows dual citizenship in such cases. Yes, the Ukrainian consulate can assist with this process. You would typically need to contact the nearest Ukrainian consulate (such as the one in Houston or Chicago, depending on your location) to register the child's birth abroad and apply for Ukrainian citizenship confirmation. Required documents usually include: - The child's U.S. birth certificate (with apostille if needed). - Parents' passports or Ukrainian citizenship proofs. - Marriage certificate (if applicable). - Application forms provided by the consulate. The process involves submitting these documents, and upon approval, the child can receive a Ukrainian birth certificate and passport. Note that procedures can vary, and it's advisable to check directly with the consulate for the most current requirements, as Ukrainian laws may have specific nuances, especially regarding children born abroad.
