The U.S. Department of State is considering a new requirement that 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗿 𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗹 𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗨.𝗦. 𝗰𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝗺𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝘂𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗹𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗨.𝗦. 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱.
According to draft guidance reviewed by Reuters, the proposed documentation could include 𝗮 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗱 𝗨.𝗦. 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁, 𝗯𝗶𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗰𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲, 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗺 𝗜-𝟵𝟰, 𝗼𝗿 𝗹𝗮𝘄𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗱. The information would reportedly be used to determine whether a child is subject to President Donald Trump’s August 6 executive order concerning birthright citizenship.
The August 6 order is part of the administration’s broader effort to 𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁 𝗯𝗶𝗿𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗰𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽. It identifies certain circumstances in which citizenship would be denied or not recognized, including when a parent is a 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗴𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗼𝘆𝗲𝗲, 𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗳𝗿𝗮𝘂𝗱 𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗼𝗯𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗰𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗯𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘀, or is classified as an “a𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗺𝘆.”
Under current practice, parents generally 𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗽𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗼 𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. They are also asked to indicate whether they are U.S. citizens, but supporting documentation of their citizenship or immigration status is not typically required.
The proposal has not been finalized or implemented. It comes amid ongoing litigation over the August 6 executive order. On September 2, 2026, 𝗨.𝗦. 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘁 𝗝𝘂𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗵 𝗟. 𝗕𝗼𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝘆𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 issued a preliminary injunction blocking enforcement of the order.
The litigation follows the Supreme Court’s June 30, 2026 decision in 𝘛𝘳𝘶𝘮𝘱 𝘷. 𝘉𝘢𝘳𝘣𝘢𝘳𝘢, in which the Court held that children born in the United States to parents who are 𝘂𝗻𝗹𝗮𝘄𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝗯𝗶𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗵 𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁’𝘀 𝗖𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲.
