child's application for pinoy passport

[chubster]

hi..this is my first ever post.
i'm married to a filipina and our 4-month-old son was born here in the UK. He already has british citizenship and a british passport but i want him to get his filipino passport too. I have downloaded the application form but am having trouble with how to fill it in!
Has anyone ever done it?
specifically - am i actually supposed to put the boy's thumbprints on the form?! and where it asks for the signature of applicant do i sign it (on his behalf) or just leave it blank?

thanks in advance if anyone can assist - love this website!

I've done that in Philippines and my son is not a British Citizen.
Must be your wife's thumbprints and her signature or yours I guess

Since your son just 4 mos. old he dont need to thumbprints on his application.As we did our daughters application we leave the thumbprints blank and as an applicant i am signing on it.....MY NAME/Mother.....

i think just leave it blank temporarily.when you submit the form you could ask them the best thing to do.have you filled up/accomplished the report of birth form?

hehe--- i couldn't really imagine sticking the boy's thumbprints on there anyway! thanx, i'll just leave it blank.
yeah, i've filled up the report of birth form too - no probs with that one!
do i have to go to the embassy to make this application - or can i do it by post and send them a cheque?
the reason i want his filipino passport is so that i don't have to keep paying a visa extension fee when we go to Phils for 4months later this year...

thanx for helping!

Done that with our wee boy its really confusing so i phoned the embassy. You dont need to put the baby's thumbprints just leave it blank and the applicants signature i put the baby's name but my signature over it. Thats what the embassy told me to do

You dont have to submit it personally you can send it thru post as he is only a baby. Got the passport back after 4 weeks

Goodluck
