Can applying for a US passport based on a US birth certificate considered false claim to USC or is that false claim to US nationality?? Can some one help please. Thanks
 
If it is your own genuine US birth certificate, and you were not born to diplomats, and also did not lose your US citizenship by renunciation or revocation, you're a US citizen and cannot make a false claim to US citizenship.
 
U.S. citizen and U.S. national are not the same thing. There are some, but very few, U.S. nationals who are not U.S. citizens (currently mainly people born on American Samoa and their descendents, and some others). U.S. nationals, whether citizens or not, can get U.S. passports. And on the U.S. passport application you sign a statement saying you are a U.S. citizen or non-citizen national. So technically, signing that statement is not necessarily a claim of U.S. citizenship.
