How can I find or get my birth certificate from Cambodia? I’m sure the original copy has been distroyed during the war.
My parents got my uncle from Srok Khmer to get one of the officials to redo or print a new one. Unfortunately it didn’t amount to Jack Squat when I tried using it here in the states. The people here looked at me all weird and strange…..

Don’t waste any more of your time trying to get your b-certificate from Cambodia. If you came to US from the refugee camps, you’re here for asylum with a ‘refugee’ status. This means you escaped from political persecution. Therefore, you do not have a b-certificate. INS understands this policy. But if you came to the US not through the UNHCR’s sponsor refugee camps, that’s another story.
You may want to check out the INS’s website to find the answers to your situations.

Actually, it’s not for the US. It’s for France. I’m a US citizen, but need it for French stuff.
France should understand that 90% of the people in Cambodia do not have birth certificate and the war destroy the other 10%.

There are lots of people in your position. That is, they want to go to Cambodia but don’t can’t get a passport. You can’t get a passport without a BC/Nat. Certificate. Your greencard won’t get you squat. You need to get a visiting visa, basically a temporary passport. I know a couple of people who were in the same boat. I think the travel agencies could tell ya where to get one.
she is a U.S citizen and have a passport to travel. But her husband is a French citizen and she needs the birth citizenship in order to have dual citizen, i think.
as for the story about your friend…if you become a U.S. citizen, you use your passport to travel….If you are not a U.S. but have a green card, you use that to travel….not use the green card but the green card means that you are legal to live in the U.S….so you make yourself a re-entry permit by showing your green card, which is a type of temporary passport that you carry with you to travel….

We are dealing with French administrative. They are not as understanding as the U.S. They are a pain in the rear.

Lagorro,
Because you don’t know where and who to ask doesn’t mean the French people are less understanding. Try asking how to do a liver ponction to a mailman. Let’s see if you can get an accurate answer.
Anyways. Concerning your issue, I suggest you to contact the Cambodian consulate (or embassy) to inform you about birth certificate procedures. Even old birth certificates were destroyed from war, new ones can be delivered. I got mine done.
Malaika should understand that new birth certificate can be delivered. When you loose your driver licence, do you say: “my driver licence is lost, I can’t have another one!”?

Marin,
It’s easy for you to get your birth certificate because you’re in Cambodia.
I didn’t say the French people are less understanding. I said the French administrative. My husband and I have dealt with them before and we know how difficult they can be.
How long does it take for me to get my birth certificate if I were to contact the Cambodian consulate? What is the cost per copy of birth certificate? Can I trust the people who handle the paperwork?

Marine, it is. I’m in the US. Forget about the French. I’m just saying that administrations regardless to any nationality are a pain.
I strongly suggest you to visit the Cambodian consulate. I got mine while I was in Cambodia. I’m sure you can have yours by mail.
Here’s some help:

Marine,
I just contacted the Embassy and they told me that I will need to get someone to do it for me in Cambodia (relatives, friend, etc). So for sure, I won’t get mind through the mail. Why is this so harddddddddddd?…
[Message last modified 08-06-2004 09:47am by Lagorro]
Well, well. The final word is to get it processed by a relative or friend in Cambodia. It may take a while to have your hands on the precious document.
remember our friend Marin—he has been living there and now he’s married…try asking him.
Marine is not the same person.

Yes, I remember Marin. I can I forget. So he’s married now. Wow. Congrats dude. Are you still in Cambodia, Marin? or Are you back in Cali?
