二人目の子供の出産を終え、最近やっとmixiに復帰しました。
子供二人の育児は想像以上に大変で毎日ヘトヘトです。
しばらくは旦那の冬休みなので、少し生活が落ち着くかなーといった感じです。
ところで皆さんに質問なんですが、子供が生まれたのでアメリカ大使館に行ってパスポートを作ったりＳＳＮの申請をしなくてはいけないですよね？
上の子の時は生まれてから結構すぐに行ったんですが、今回は寒くてかわいそうなので、３月頃に行く予定なんですが・・・
生まれてから何ヶ月以内に申請しなくてはいけない、みたいな期限ってあるんでしょうか？
調べたんですがちょっとわからなくて・・
ご存知の方いましたら教えてください。
よろしくお願いします。

For children with an American parent born in a foreign country you can easily register up untill (I believe) the childs 18th birthday. After that the child needs to provide proof that he has an American parent or something along those lines. Either way, the "deadline" isn't any time soon.
The only problems that arise from a later registration would be:
1. If you were to take the child to America, without registration of citizenship and an American passport, you'd need a visa for the child/etc. and apparently you can get into catch 22 situations for the registration afterward (I don't know the details, that's just what I read).
2. Without a SSN I don't think you can register your child on your taxes as a dependent, or there are apparently some problems there. I'm not sure on the details of that one either, again something I just read somewhere.
Either way I think registering within the first year and before you make any trips would lead to the least headaches. We registered at 4 months. The only thing that didn't go so smooth for us was we didn't have good pictures for the passport (white background! correct size!) and we don't live close to an embassy, only a consolate. To register at a consulate you need to get an appointment in advance, and they only had about one or two days a month. Anyway, since you already went through the process with your older child I'll bet you're just about as knowledgeable as me anyway. If you really want to investigate further you can check out http://japan.usembassy.gov/e/acs/tacs-7115.html for some pretty detailed info, or just calling a consulate or embassy directly will get you any info you need without a wait.

これでわかるといいんですが(*ﾟ▽ﾟ)ﾉ
