      You can apply under “Registration of Birth of Lankan children born out side Sri Lanka”. There are certain documents that are needed.

      Documents required
      1. Perfected Application
      2. Birth Certificate of the child issued by the country of birth*
      3. Consular Birth Certificate issued by the Registration General Department of Sri Lanka or
      a letter issued from the nearest Sri Lankan Mission including following details;
      (i) Name of child
      (ii) Date of birth
      (iiii) Sex
      (iv) Name of father
      (v) Nationality of father
      (vi) Maiden name of mother
      (vii) Nationality of mother
      4. Birth Certificates of parents
      5. If the applicant is a Sri Lankan citizen by registration, the relevant certificate
      6. Marriage Certificate of parents
      7. Travel Documents and Visas held by parents to prove residence abroad at the time of child’s birth
      8. Declaration that the applicant (father/mother) has not acquired citizenship of a country other than
      Sri Lanka at the time of child’s birth

      Note: [2-7 above originals with photocopies]

      Citizenship Division will process the application on receipt of same from the respective Mission. Certificate will be sent to the same Mission for onward transmission to the applicant, on finalisation of the registration process.

      I am not sure whether the current citizenship become void in case if your baby is registered in Sri Lanka. There has to be an option of Dual citizenship for babies too. Still I could not find out that information.

      If I find that information, I will post it here. Hope this is the information you needed. If not please ad a clarification.
