Re: Child British passport

[Tiggers0608]

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..

hi joe, thanks again,

we're here in UK for a year now but i guess we need my daughter's legitimate certificate from NSO before she applied for her brit citizenship.

you're daughter is here then, you paid for a settlement visa for her ?

your daughter can't apply for citizenship, under 18yrs olds are not allowed, but she can register as british (nearly the same thing)

and they want to charge you for registration

nah, i think who ever you spoke to is wrong, i'm sure she is already a British citizen. she should be able to apply for a british passport, thou i think its all at the HO discretion.

you need to send lots of stuff to them thou, your hubbies birth cert, yours, your daughters legitimised one, passports, marriage cert, and the kitchen sink,

good luck, and don't pay any more money to them

Yes, sadly we paid 50,000 pesos for her settlement visa, coz we're applying her a british passport when we where in the phils but the lady at the UK embassy said my daughter can't apply for a brit passport bcoz her dad have to present in the embassy and sign the application in person.

so we don't really know what to do next:
wait for my ILR and put her name on it or
apply her for brit citizenship or
apply her for a brit passport or
or don't know anymore

thanks for all the info's its very helpful

can you get someone to try and get your daughters legitimised birth cert and send it to you ? if you can do that, phone up IPS and check again, if they say yes she can apply, then apply for it, if by a small chance she is refused, then she can still go on your ILR as your dependant. so your only risking what i child passport cost, which is i think £46 !!.

Thanks for all the help joe and yes i already asked my sis to get the legitimate birt cert of my daughter from NSO. Hopefully by then we can apply her a brit passport
