I noticed that the DOS visa reciprocity website for France states that For persons born in France: “Copie Integrale de l’Acte de Naissance” are obtainable from la Mairie (Office of the Mayor) at the place of birth. For French nationals born in a foreign country: they are available from the Ministere des Affaires Etrangeres, Service de l'Etat Civil, 20 Allee Brancas, 44 - Nantes. For French nationals born in a French colony: they may be obtained from the Direction des Archives de France, Section Outre-Mer, 5 Bd. Barthou, BP 1056, 44035 Cedex Nantes So I do have Copie Integrale de l’Acte de Naissance since I was born there, but I am not a French citizen; of course, I have a birth certificate from my country of nationality, which mentions I was born in France (and the city), and was made at the ministry of foreign affairs of said country. I was first thinking that I shouldn't submit the French birth certificate but now that I see that they have curiously separated these three cases above, specifically talking about 'people born in France', I am a bit in doubt. Should I actually read the first line as "For French nationals born in France: ..." instead of "For persons born in France: ..." , just because of how the next two cases are written? ... One would think that the reciprocity website for a given country always concerns only citizens of that country when it comes to birth certificates, but I am not sure now. So should I submit that document (and its certified English translation, because these days Montreal CO asks for everything in English) or not? I am just worried that given what is stated above on the website, the CO and/or NVC may request the document.
