Question 7775 — French people abroad

Summary

Mr. Vincent Caure questions the Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs about the procedures and deadlines necessary to obtain a passport for a newborn born abroad. When a child is born abroad, the passport application is filed after the birth is declared and the birth certificate is issued. This declaration must be made to the consulate within 15 days in Europe and 30 days outside Europe. However, several consulates only accept this declaration by mail, while others do not have sufficient time slots to carry out this procedure following the birth. As a result, the passport application is delayed. In addition to these deadlines, there are those relating to making an appointment. In addition, some consulates have introduced a new rule requiring a delay of one month after birth before accepting any passport application. Faced with these difficulties, some binational families have had to turn to the authorities of the child's other nationality to obtain an identity document before being able to travel. On the other hand, exclusively French families find themselves obliged to wait and postpone their travel plans or visits to their families in France. He therefore asks him to specify the modalities contributing to obtain a passport for children born abroad, of whom at least one parent is French and to consider the possibility of prioritizing appointments for the birth declaration and passport application.
