So if the parents have immigrated somewhere and have a child there while not having citizenship themselves, they have to go to an embassy and do a bunch of paperwork or something? Weird that someone could be a citizen of a country they’ve never been to.
Yes generally. If a couple in India are living in France (without being citizens) and have a kid there, they’d submit the child’s vital documents to the Indian embassy in France or possibly mail them to India so an Indian passport can be issued.
