Naturalized citizens cannot obtain a U.S. birth certificate. Your Certificate of Naturalization is your only proof of citizenship, and you should therefore ensure it is in a safe place. Don't fold it, instead put it in a sheet protector, and into a safe deposit box at a local bank, or a fire and water proof safe. Make sure you apply for a passport as well, as that is additional proof of your US citizenship.
The American parent should apply for a "certificate of birth abroad" for the child at the nearest US mission. The certificate acts as a certificate of US citizenship.
No, the child is American.
only if you were born in the united states with a U.S. birth certificate
No. A birth certificate is issued after you are born, usually in the city and state where the birth took place. Barack Obama's birth was recorded in Honolulu, Hawaii, for example. A certificate of naturalization is provided when a person who is an immigrant decides to become a citizen, passes the tests and takes the oath. My maternal grandfather was born and raised in Lithuania, for example; but when he emigrated and moved to America, he decided he wanted to be a U.S. citizen, and he was issued a certificate of naturalization. A naturalized citizen of the United States is one who has become a citizen, after being born in another country. A "natural born citizen," on the other hand, is one who was born in the United States and did not come here from another country.
I don.t think you could renew your birth certificate, but may be get a replacement certificate.
Do you have a US birth certificate? Where were you born?
Birth certificate ought to do it.
The process of becoming an American citizen is referred to as Naturalization. The form that is used for this purpose is N-400 ( Application for Naturalization). People can also become American citizens by birth, or acquire the citizenship status through their parents. For this purpose, they need to use Form N-600 to get the Certificate of Citizenship

Yes, the child is entitled to both nationalities. A birth certificate from the country were the child is born and a certificate of birth abroad/certificate of citizenship from the other country of nationality must be obtained so that the child can apply for both passports.
If your birth certificate was filed in the United States of America then you are automatically an American citizen. If you also claim citizenship with another country, the United States government asks that you choose your citizenship to one or the other.
the parent should be on the birth certificate so long as they are the biological parent. Doesn't matter if they are a US citizen or not.
