If you are born of US citizens in a local hospital in France are you a
natural born US citizen?

If you are born of US citizens in a US embassy in France are you a
natural born US citizen?

Read the above link. *There are complex legal issues involved. *And you
think I'm going to answer either of the above questions? *No way.

Yes, there are complex legal issues involved, And no, I don't believe
I'm missing the point. My question[s], even though hypothetical would
or at least should have a concrete answer.

FWIW, my older daughter was born in Bad Kreuznach, Germany. She had dual
citizenship until age 21. At that point she chose to be a US citizen, even
though Harry was living in the country at the time.

Similar situation with our daughter. She was born in Italy in a US Navy
Hospital in Naples.
She held dual Italian/American citizenship until the age of 18. No action
was required at that point, unless she had wanted to be an Italian citizen
only. In that case she would have renounced her American citizenship.

By default, at 18, her Italian citizenship was renounced and she became an
American citizen.

I thought it was 21, but when I read your response I called my daughter.
You're right, it was 18. She doesn't remember what she went through, so it
couldn't have been much. I think she got a notice saying if she did nothing
she'd be a US citizen. I was in Germany at the time and she was living with
her mom.
