Ok. If a child was born on a boat, in international waters, where would its technical birthplace be? I'm NOT talking about citizenship, I know it would be whatever the parents are. I mean, what would it say on the birth certificate for birthplace?

It would be the vessal's flag country. If the ship carried a US Flag, it would be an American birth cirtificate. If the ship was Norweigan, it would be a Norwegian birth cirtificate. In some cases, this would mean that the baby would have citizenship in that country and the parents would have to petition for citizenship in their home country.

Place of Birth
Name of the Ship and Country of Registry.
Citizenship is different.

The birthplace would be the current town in which your parents have permanent residence.

That is one hell of a good question...
My friend was born on a boat coming from Poland to America...
I think he said they considered him born in Poland...
I really don't know.

I think the place where the boat is registered,,,and what kind of flag it is flying?
The most reasonable thing to think would be where you were located ~~~?

of course, this is mostly hypothetical, as nowadays, cruiseliners do not allow pregnant women to sail once they are past I think 33 weeks anyway....
