Were can I check if I have this consular birth abroad?

Question

My mother took and hid my papers that my dad had left me.. is there anyone in the embassy or someone who can assist me in having my mother provide all the documents I need? And I like to meet and speak to the American Consul personally...No Filipino consuls, please... I have a lot of questions and explanations.. My dad is dead...

Answer 1

You can get a copy of your birth certificate IF it was really filed at the US Embassy in Manila. Hjz has given you all the contact info you will need. Write them a letter and address it to the Consul General. Explain your situation. Give all details. If you need help in formulating your letter, I can help you. The important thing is to get all your facts together so it will be easy for them to act on your case. Good Luck.**

Answer 2

There's no place you can check.  You can order a copy of it directly from the US Department of State, but you will have to pay a fee.  They will mail it to you.

Contact the embassy for an appointment to meet with an American consular officer.
