Are people born on foreign military bases issued actual birth certificates?

Question

I'm trying to find my 41 year old husbands birth certificate from the now Spain run military base. Thanks

Answer 1

Yes, there's an actual birth certificate and a Declaration of citizenship. I was born on base in England. I have a birth certifcate from the base hospital and the Declaration of Citizenship.  Samanatha gave good instructions on how to get that.  I normally provide my declaration of citizenship when asked for a birth certificate.

Answer 2

If you are a born in a United States military base, no matter which country it is in, you are issued a birth certificate and given American citizenship.

In fact, McCain was not born in the United States.  He was born in a military base.  Only because military bases count as United States territory can McCain run for the presidency.

Answer 4

Yes. Your husband's birth was registered with the U.S. Embassy or Consulate nearest his place of birth in Spain. So, his official birth certificate was issued by the State Department.  A copy can be obtained. Write a letter to the below address. Include the names of the birth parents, the date of birth and place of birth along with a check or money order for $30 made out to "U.S. Treasury":
