:xxgrinning--00xx3: yes i already have it and that's the one I'm going to send for her application. Is that the BC with remarks on the side :Erm: saying legitimate by virtue of subsequnetly marriage

[joebloggs]

yes, so i think you're daughter is British by descent.

but i think you need to send your husband's birth cert or passport.


you should phone up 0300 222 0000 and check.

well if thats what the guy at the P/O told you, but i would have thought they want to see evidence your husband is a British citizen.

:xxgrinning--00xx3: good luck on your application too but i know its easy for u guys he he he :xxgrinning--00xx3: cheers.

yeah i know, that's why im confuse on what to send really :Erm: as on the documents needed it says father's BC and fathers passport :Erm:

:NoNo: good luck to my daughter's application :Erm: as the P/O says different documents from the IPS list :icon_lol::D

[joebloggs]

maybe the guy at the P/O has made a mistake, thou he could be right :D

i'm sure when i phoned up the IPS (identity and passport service) they said i would have to send my birth cert or passport. might have been even both, it was a while a go, and i can't remember :doh

Just to be in the safe side just include it. My pleasure:)

Your husbands birth certificate is usually enough to prove his nationality, after all the BC was the basis upon which his passport was issued. However, just go with the flow, and include the passport..
