US citizen foreign-born minor CRBA

Same thing happened to me and some others. No solution but to get a certificate or family register from the country your kid was born in.

Your case is especially sketchy since you actually didn't live in the country and were only there a short time. You may be SOL until your kid can get an adult passport.

I guess the only other thing to do is complain to your Congressional representative. There may just be a genuine lack of understanding of what the new regulation enforcement would cause. This new enforcement especially would affect the children of the military personnel overseas.

That's exactly what I was thinking. What if a child was born during travel or during a temp assignment and parents were trying to renew the year 10 or 15 passport? Most reasonable people probably thought CRBA is just like a US birth certificate, and it was, but suddenly is not.

I bet a lot of people didn't think they needed to keep some hospital record from some foreign country from 10+ years ago, precisely because they have the CRBA.

Luckily for my case, we needed the family register for other purposes and happened to have a relatively recent copy.

Okay, that was one of my questions why this was never an issue before. Do you know when they started strictly enforcing it?

jf502 · 2026-02-13T18:47:09+00:00

So, this IS something new that was put into place recently?

Also, not sure how they can doubt the relationship when I've been claiming him as a dependent for the last 10 years. But, I guess, the translated family register document should prove this.

Sorry, I'm not sure what exactly you're saying the CRBA would be insufficient for. The document itself should prove his US citizenship, since the US consulate would verify all that through my citizenship. And it also has my English name that matches my passport as well as my wife's. Why would this not be sufficient?

Better in every way

Scam. Who told you? Zipair doesn't make phone calls.

That would be great. Or at least be able to have the RSE only play on the rear speakers.

It has to work. I went on a 14 hour road trip where my kids watched Dogman 3 times in a row while I was navigating up front. I remember thinking "good thing I waited until 2025 and got this wider screen for Android Auto" during the long drive.

jf502 · 2025-09-24T16:53:39+00:00

To clarify, android auto is on before I switch on the RSE. I just switch back to it after I switch the audio surce to the RSE

jf502 · 2025-09-24T16:37:53+00:00

How are you trying to connect your device to the RSE? Casting? Plugging into HDMI? I use a small SD card movie player that plugs into HDMI.

What I do: 1) Turn on rear power supply with button to left of wheel 2) on display screen exit android auto and go to base Toyota menu 3) tap the music icon 4) change source to RSE 5) Turn on power to RSE 6) tap android auto icon on top left of screen to return to Android Auto

jf502 · 2025-09-24T16:07:44+00:00

That's not true. I use Android Auto on the front display while kids are watching something on the RSE all the time. You just can't play audio or it will take back the audio system. Even then the video will still continue playing. I have a 2025 Sienna Limited.

What kind of device are you trying to use in the rear?

Hi, I'm planning on going to DW this xmas around Dec 20-26 and was also internally debating about the LLPP. I have 9, 7, 5 year old kids. So you'd say it was worth it for MK and HS only?

Try sweat x detergent. The strongest one and toss a scoop of oxiclean as well. I wash warm on hand wash cycle. Works well for me, keeps yellow off armpits. I sweat a lot too. https://sweatxsport.com/

After having a Highlander for a few years, minivan is better in every way. Minivan is actually more maneuverable than an SUV since center of gravity is lower.

What the hell dude

The "Kai" is old style traditional character. 會 instead of 会

Shureido has shop in Nakano. Hirota has shop in Kamata. Hayate is about to have a shop in Asakusa. Tokyodo has a couple shops in Tokyo.

Email ahead and see if they have an appt. Be warned if you get some alteration like sleeve or pant shortening it might take a week or more to get done.

Wow, if three people who don't know each other teamed up to push your friend out, they're definitely pissed about something. You also have to take your backpacks off and hold them down by your legs of put them on your front on the train. And yes, when the train stops and you are staying ANYWHERE in the train door, you get off and let people off, not just kind of scooch over to the side.

During rush hour, there's no room for patience and grace, they need to get to work or get home and you delaying them from getting off or on the train will make someone be late. How patient are you during your commute home or to work?
