This may be stating the obvious but there is nothing you can do as the aunt/ uncle. It is the mother and father of the child who need to do the paperwork.

Are you saying the above in bold applies only to US Embassy in Yemen, or all US Embassies, when applying?

All embassies.

All embassies.

No matter where you apply, some things are the same in every country outside the United States, however check your countries US Embassy.

You will use the same application form -(the DS-2029) no matter where you apply for the "Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA)." USEM website is probably the most comprehensive, describing US Embassy (CRBA) course of action .

It's Preferred, that the U.S. citizen parent apply but if the OP (aunt) has legal guardianship, she can apply and execute the CRBA.

(USEM website)

Only the child's biological parent or legal guardian, preferably the U.S. citizen parent, can apply for a CRBA. Either parent, including a non-U.S. citizen parent, may execute and sign this application. If it will be signed and executed by a legal guardian, a special power of attorney from the parent(s) or guardianship affidavit must be submitted.The application must be made before the child's 18th birthday and the child must make a personal appearance at the U.S. Embassy.

Oh! first time you bolded all of my sentence, NOT just "the mother and father" bit so I didn't realise you were asking if only one parent could be present. I thought your question was about the OP, as aunt/ uncle could do the CRBA, and they cannot- there is no indication they are a guardian.

Yes, there is no indication they are a guardian, but I can clearly say the same. There is no indication they are not the guardian. If they (OP) are the legal guardian then they can as indicated. above.

My point was your post should have stated, "either parent, including a non-U.S. citizen parent or legal guardian can apply not just, "the mother and father of the child who need to do the paperwork." Doing so could leave out vital information for the unknowing person, asking questions.

You need to go to http://yemen.usembassy.gov/yemen/birth_abroad.html

Read the instructions there and make an appointment.

You have to be on the appointment page constantly because appointment slots

are very hard to get, due to the number of people trying to apply for one.

Good luck
