Child Passport Requirements

[Johnthelaw]

Hello All,
I am hoping that someone will be able to assist me with advice.
My beautiful Filipina lady has just had confirmed what we have known for a couple of months. She is going to make me a proud Dad again. We had planned to marry in the Autumn in the Phillipines in any event but now I am more determined than ever to make "an honest woman" of her!
Has anyone had experience of registering a child, born in the Phillipines, for British citizenship.
Many Thanks in advance,
John
