ok here is the deal. She's a coworker with me and 18 years old, originally from Korea,but back when she was little the base where all of her birth records were located were destroyed in a fire. She's gone to school here in the states,has a job, a social security but no birth certificate to shows she exsisted. Without it she can't get a license,go to college etc...She's tried going to the DMV,courthouses,seen judges the whole thing. Can anyone if your in the military tell me or point me in the right direction on how she can going about getting this information? The branch of military her father was in was the Army,can she contact someone there and if so who? Serious answers please, if anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated. She's in tears almost everyday beacuse she has no idea what to do. Thanks in advance. :)

If she was born overseas to U.S. citizen parents, her birth would have been reported to the nearest U.S. consulate or embassy. The State Department would then have issued a "Consular Report of Birth Abroad". Check here to find out how to get a replacement: http://travel.state.gov/passport/get/first/first_825.html
This should be sufficient proof for any circumstances requiring a birth certificate.

I found this from the U.S. embacy in korea home page. My son was born over seas while i was in the Army and i remember i got a german birth certificate and i had to go to my personel services battalion, also know as PSB or PAC, and submit paperwork for the U.S. birth certificate. they take the paper work and sent it to the embasay and the embbasay will send it to the PSB. The PSB or PAC will call you to come pick it up. The only problem is some people put it off and end up forgetting to do it. Lets hope this is not the case here. I hope he did do the paper work and if he did just use the info i pasted below. I hope this helps out!!
How do I replace or request additional copies of Consular Report of Birth?
The Embassy cannot provide replacement or extra copies of the Consular Report of Birth Abroad (FS-240). Additional copies are available only by mail by writing to:
U.S. Department of State
Passport Services Correspondence Branch
CA/PPT/PS/PC, Suite 510
1111 19th Street NW
Washington, D.C. 20522-1705
Your request must include complete identifying information:
Full name of the child, date and place of birth, names of the parents, the consular office abroad that recorded the birth, and the serial number of the Consular Report of Birth, if known.
If the Consular Report of Birth has been lost, stolen or mutilated, the request must include an affidavit setting forth the circumstances on how this occurred.
The charge is $30.00 per copy.

If her dad was in the Army, she can go to the DOD, or write to them, and they will find his records. However, she will need pertenant information. The last base he was at, or last known address. She would have to contact the offices in Washington, D.C., the Department of the Army. I'm not in the military, however...due to Ahheemm, age...and LE training in college, I have that knowledge. My security instructor is from the DOD.
It would also help if she has his social security number as well. There could possibly be more than one person with is name...
unless it is unique. Here's the link to the site:

I have found out by experience that your birth records are always stored at the hospital where you were born i hope you find them and if the hospital record were the ones burned i don't know. even so this is what i would to try anyway possible through the military to get it but at the same time she can train herself on the schooling she wants to do and possibly have a faster time in college when she gets there best of luck.

Just a shot in the dark but try having her write a letter to the following:
Office of the Chief of Public Affairs
1500 Army Pentagon
Washington, DC, 20310-1500

Yes , Yahoo search Ombudsman. Follow up on that. Also telephone your local FBI office. Ask them for the best time to get fingerprinted. Do not say more than that. Go there, do it. It will get the ball rolling. Indicating with paperwork to somebody later that you were fingerprinted by the bureau and are still walking around will show you are not a bad guy. Apply for job as a security guard. ALWAYS consider motivation. Lawyer does not wanna work for free. FBI guy DOES want to lock up bad guys. Security outfit DOES want folks checked out as OK for clients to employ. If you get what you want while you're at it, whats wrong with that? I'd also say consult a preacher except that you are.

If her father was/is in the service and she was born in a military hospital then her father's service record should have a document if not a copy of her birth records.

I have to go with shes somewhat shy and kevin on this.
between the depeartment of defense and the consulant, they should have her birth certificate there.
my daughter was born on a us base in japan and her birth certificate says if it needs replaced to write to the department of defense. she will need a certificate of birth abroad also, they go hand in hand.

i had the same problem-her records should have been copied to a base back in the states, whichever her father deployed from. they back that stuff up so that things like this can't happen. but they found mine at the base my dad deployed from.
