Hi all

To start with a nice announcement that our baby was born 01/08/14 here in the UK - my wife and baby ended up having to spend 9 nights in hospital before coming home but we got there in the end! So in the space of a month we have visa and baby - phew!

Now to reach out for any information to this forum community, I have trawled through old posts and other sites including both Government sites but still non-the-wiser.

I have already registered the birth in the 'normal' way here - so he has a birth certificate.

However I also want to register in the Philippines since his mother is pure Filipino. Firstly does anyone know whether all I need to do is the 'report of birth' form from the Phil Emb. UK site? What else needs doing?

Secondly what implications/consequences does this have ie will the baby be entitled to both passports, dual citizenship etc and what other steps must be taken?

Just when I thought the processes and red tape had stopped eh

Thanks in advance

James
