hi guys,

can someone advise me what if a baby was born in a none eea country?

The mother is from eea country and came back with the baby. Does it mean the babies birth certificate will be issued by the none eea country or can she apply in her own eea country?

Also, how she can bring the baby through passport control? Does she need to apply for a passport or on consulate they give her a letter with what she can enter the country?

(we are talking about year 2001) Many thanks for your help.

Your post is a bit unclear. Are you asking about a case from 11 years ago? Where is the "baby" now?

The question cannot be answered in general. The baby can inherit the nationality of one (or both) parents, it can be entitled to the nationality of the place of birth. It all depends on the details of the legislation of the various countries involved. And it is not difficult to construct cases where a baby can have three or even more nationalities automatically at birth.

A birth certificate is normally issued by the authorities of the place of birth. It just gives the facts: date and place of birth, and the names of the parents.

Giving birth outside the country of your normal residence does indeed raise the question: how do you get back? And you can indeed encounter quite a few bureaucratic hurdles then. Again it depends on details not given by OP, what the most practical way forward is.

Logically the birth certificate would have been issued from the country of birth.

If a child is born in a country of which neither parent is national or resident the most practical thing would be to contact the relevant embassy which represents a country of which one/both of the parents are nationals.

I agree that the questions asked are unclear.
