I need to renew expired US Passport for son but have misplaced/lost original 'Report of Birth Abroad' certificate. I do have a copy of it. Also have original Thai Birth Certificate and expire US Passport.

Do I need to get another 'R of B A' or will the Thai Certificate and translation be enough ? If not will the US Embassy produce another Certificate ?

Any advice ?

Thanks

According to info on embassy website you will not need the birth certificate just their passport.

Thanks. The last I tried I was told since the Passport had expired, the birth cert was required. I'm hoping the original Thai BC and translation will be enough. It worked the first time .

Thanks again

Both webpages state only the passport is needed.
From the state department webpage

• Previous U.S. Passport (may be expired, must be undamaged)

Thanks for the update

I just received my son's report. It included a slip with instructions for duplicates. Cost is $40.

Like other posts say; if you have a passport; I don't think it is needed.
