How do I get documentation of being born in Japan in the 1950's.?

Question

I need this to obtain a US passport. My mother was a US citizen who moved to Japan at age 2 and gave up her citizenship. My father was a US citizen who was in Japan when WWII broke out and was declared a dual US/Japanese citizen. We all moved to the US when I was 3. I think I was naturalized but don't have any info. Both my parents are deceased and I'm an only child.

Answer 1

Contact the Japanese Embassy in Washington DC and see if they are able to help you. If you were born in a hospital and know its name they can help you contact that hospital and get its record-if not maybe they have a data system that can locate this way. Give them your parents names, date of birt, addresses-anything may help them. Do you a birth certificate. Did you check old paper work from your parents? Your old passport? If you were born there and were brought back-then you must have had a passport. You had to have come in with documentation into this country.

Good luck.
