i guess it depends on the country--in the usa...even if you are born outside the country--you can d get a birthcert with a born abroad id. so it is probably the same for many other places.

In the past, the mother could chose the country of birth for citizenship purposes. Much of this International Law has changed in the past year, however, so if you are planning to fly to New York from some place like South Africa or Mexico or Haiti and induce your labor while in flight, you may want to think twice about it because having your baby in the washroom of an airplane is not really the best or most comfortable place AND... I can tell you for a fact that the first aid kit they carry on airplanes is not equipted to manage a normal birth... let alone if there are problems.

On top of this, your baby will probably NOT be granted U.S. citizenship, so it's a dangerous game to play and there is only the guarantee that your baby will still have the same citizenship as you have.

I would suggest you just have your baby in whatever country you live in and then apply for citizenship in the U.S.

Most likely, the infant would be granted whatever citizenship the mother has. For instance, if you are an American citizen, but give birth while flying over Mexico, baby would be American. On the ground though I think it's a different story, I believe then the baby would actually end up having dual citizenship.

All the answers fall short of apprecitint the ground(or rather the plane) situation. Like a ship a airship is also supposed to be part of the country where it has been registered. In fact at Bombay airport I have seen the staff of Pak Air saluting their incoming or outgoing plane as it they were saluting their country. Since the child would be born technically on the soil of the conutry in which the place is registered it would be eligible for citizenship of that area.

It would be pretty much up to the mother if the child has her citizenship or the plane's country of origin. To explain myself, an airplane is considered an extension of the country land , so if the airline belongs to certain country, the child could have that citizenship.

I believe the child becomes a citizen of the country that the mother has citizenship in .

If a mother was going to give birth on a plane, they would land the plane immediatly at the closest airport, and I would think that where ever the plane landed is where the baby would have the citizenship. It also depends if it was an international flight, or domestic flight.

The childs get the citizenship of the country in which the plane is registered.

They will officially become citizens of Aerosphere Prime. An entire colony of space aliens inhabit the upper atmosphere of Earth, and the child will be abducted at age 3 to join their society.

First of all women that far into their pregnancy should not be flying especially without the go ahead of their doctor! The baby would be of same citizen status as parents. Where the birth certificate would be filed
