Re: Child British passport

[Tiggers0608]

already called the ips in glasgow they said my daughter can't have a british passport bcoz .....

she needs:

her passport when she entered UK,
child birth certificate,
her father's british birth certificate,
father's passport,
and parent's marriage contract ( they said parents should be married when the child was born)

bcoz if not, we have to apply her for naturalization first and it cost £400, unlike the passport it only cost £46 , lol

well if thats the case, ................... i'll let my husband call them lol

GENERAL
1. The purpose of this leaflet is to explain how parents who are British citizens can pass their citizenship on to their children born outside the United Kingdom on or after 1 January 1983.
In this leaflet:
(a) The “United Kingdom” means England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man
(b) Reference to “qualifying territories” mean the British overseas territories (see Note A) other than the Sovereign Base Areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia
(c) Unless otherwise indicated, any reference to “parent” means:
Children born before 1 July 2006
•
the mother (if the child was born on or after 1 January 1983) – before 1983, women were not able to pass on citizenship to their children
•
the father (but only if he was married to the mother) NB. If the parents were not married when the child was born, but then get married, the marriage might legitimate the child’s birth. If it does, the child would become a British citizen (and would be regarded as having been one from birth) if the father was a British citizen (or settled) when the child was born. Children of a void marriage may also, in some circumstances, be treated as legitimate.


i would phone again, telling them this.. good luck

oooppps i forgot to say

Thank you so much JOE

[joebloggs]

get your husband to phone them again, saying

that his daughter was born sept 2005 in the phils, you married in jan 2006 and her birth cert was then legitimised, so your daughter should already be a British citizen by descent.

why are you phoning IPS? i take it your daughter is in the phils ????

apply at the british embassy for a biritsh passport for her if shes in the phils, i wouldn't register her unless you have to.

or she is in the uk already ??


you will need your daughters legitimised birth cert thou..
