Inquiry about Birth Registration & British Passport

[jeanelovesdeano]

Hi everyone

Here I am again, asking your advice and help. My husband and I are very happy that my visa was granted at last. We can now be a proper family. I just gave birth to our beautiful baby last July 28, 2011.I already got her birth certificate from NSO office. I wanted to know what are the things to comply before me and our baby could fly in UK.

Do I need to process the CFO certificate?What are the requirements needed and how much will it cost?

With regards to my baby, we want to register her in the British Embassy and get her British Passport. What are the requirements needed and how long will it take and how much will it cost both to process the birth registration and British passport?

Is there anything I missed to comply? Will be glad to hear your response..

Thank u so much..Godbless

Regarding the birth registration, this is not a requirement but The advantages of a Consular birth registration are:

A British style birth certificate is available as evidence of British nationality
A record of the birth will afterwards be held in the General Registry Office in the United Kingdom

The cost of registration will be about £170 (Php 12,240)

For the passport, the fee is £81.50 (Php 5,868) plus a courier fee of £23.01 (Php 1,657) The timing for the new passport is around 6 weeks.

thanks hawk and rusty.Can I ask if who will be the one to fill up the form?is it my husband?..where I could find the BMD 001/007 form?cant find it in the website..One of the requirements for the passport is two pcs of passport photographs of the child. One must be endorsed by a signatory. The signatory needs to be a professional British citizen who has known you for at least two years.. Do I need to send the passport photograph of our baby to him so he can find someone in UK to endorsed the passport photograph by a signatory?

Either yourself or your husband can complete the form.

Form BMD 001/007 is the Birth Registration Form, the link to this form is in the related documents in the earlier link.

The requirements states that if you do not know a British National, or a Commonwealth citizen with these qualifications, then a Philippine citizen may complete and sign the form, provided he/she has a similar standing in the Philippines, and has known you for at least two (2) years. A member of your family should not countersign the passport form.

When we applied for our son, we got a friend of the family who is a school teacher. :xxgrinning--00xx3:
