PASSPORTS, VISAS AND CONSULAR SERVICES

CITIZENSHIP CERTIFICATES OF CHILDREN BORN IN USA

There are large number of unclaimed Citizenship Certificates of the children whose births were registered at the Embassy of Sri Lanka Washington DC during the period of 2003-2009. This Mission already started mailing to the addresses given by applicants/parent. However we came across that a large amount of Certificates mailed have been returned due to changes of residences/addresses.

We appreciate if the parents who registered their children's birth during 2003-2008 could contact the Embassy and check with Consular Officer at the Embassy whether your child’s Citizenship Certificate has been processed. Please also share this information with your friends or relatives who are waiting to receive the Citizenship Certificate of their children.

For further information, you may contact the Consular Division of the Embassy at (202) 483 4026 ext. 8121 or email consular@slembassyusa.org.
