    As previously mentioned by joebloggs and taken from the British embassy website

    A Consular Birth Registration is not a legal requirement , but it is recommended.

    Births outside the Philippines will need to be forwarded to the relevant British Embassy post for registering.

    The advantages are that

    • 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. Further copies can be obtained from the General Registry Office

    Bank Accounts

    Sorry, am new to this site, so more than likely this question has been raised / replied to before , but .....
    We're in the process of gathering the various doucuments to get my girlfriend a fiance visa, so

    1. My house ..... obviously the Building Society hold the deeds, so do I need a copy, or will an annual statement from tthe Building Society be sufficient.

    2. I need to send a six-monthly bank account statement. I'm also (obviously) sending a photocopy of my passport. These two together are a fraudster's dream. Therefore, are u allowed to "blank" out the actual account number / sort code, but obviously leave my name ?

    Thks in advance..... and I'm sure I'll have more questions over the coming days.

    Thanks

    for the info VBKELLY... yes, I'm aware of all this, but it's the answer to No.2 I'm really looking for.

    I'm sure others on here have had the same thoughts, the same concerns ... so am I allowed to "blank" out the actual account number(s) of my bank accounts ????

    BluebirdJones - I think you can block out the account numbers. Others have mentioned doing this.

    Are you a City fan? Just BluebirdJones seems a familiar name in the fanzine world.

    Ady

    Yes, I'm a dedicated City fan.

    Yes, I worked on the fanzine in the early days.... added a few articles, proof-read it, sold it at away games etc etc.... but Mike Slocombe is/was the main man.

    Appreciate the info re:bank account numbers.
    (I'm obviously assuming that this info is not "shared" with other Govt depts ?... the less they know about me & my financial "arrangements" the better !)

    some tips from a well known immigration site

    # Owing to the sophistication of forgers, your attachments should be originals.
    # We are now recommending that a photocopy be included with every original.
    # When submitting original bank statements, the sort code and account number can be blackened out in order to prevent identity theft; this information can be given separately.
    # When submitting original salary slips, the National Insurance Number can be blackened out in order to prevent identity theft; this information can be given separately.
    # It is perfectly acceptable to give the applicant a sealed envelop with all your attachments inside. Mark the envelop "CONFIDENTIAL DOCUMENTS: To be opened by the ECO". And include a self-addressed envelop so they can be sent back to you.
    # Don't overdo it with photographs and mementos
    # If you opt to include email or chat transcripts, be VERY careful about what they contain

    and i thought you was worried about ID theft

    i didn't think a UK bank would tell or confirm anything with The embassy, because of the data protection act, but i know in other countries the British embassy can contact a bank and ask about the account and transactions

    and what you worried about, got something to hide

    Mr Gog, I guess

    having worked & traded in the financial markets for years, it's a natural thing to be suspicious and evasive.
    Remember, information is "king".... the person with access to it is in the driving seat. Information is money... so never give it away for free.

    I've always worked on the premise, that only tell "officialdom" what they ask, or what they need, so I've never ever volunteered information. Maybe I believe in this "Big Brother" thing too much... but I think they know too much about you already (tracking e-mails, mobile phones, etc etc).

    .... so sending various docs (about me & my affairs) across half the world is a new and daunting experience..... a bit like withdrawal symptoms !

    But if the end justifies the means ... so be it

    Well that was our experience when we registered our daughter, that was in 2007..
    Likewise i said from my post that its best for you to contact the british embassy and ask them with regards to your childs passport and registration for you to be able to clarify everything..

    Hi Mrs.JMajor,

    Greetings!

    Yes I didn't pay the registration fee but I paid 6.840 pesos for the british passport of my daughter. It took me 10 days to get it. Anyway registration is not a legal requirement but it is recommended. It's up to the parents either they will register or apply the passport same time or apply for passport first then register later.

    My husband and I are planning to register her in the UK if ever it's possible but if ever not then we will register her here in the Philippines. At the moment I'm still waiting for my visa result. Hope it's approved this time.. Thanks you and God bless!.
