my baby's british passport

[stretch33]

Hi Ito am a rare poster but an avid reader of this forum. This subject is right on the button for me.... I have a son out in Davao (and another nipper en route) My g/f and l are not married (yet) He our son was born in hospital and has my surname on his Philippne birth certificate. I would like them tocome over for a visit to uk maybe next year and wondered can he get a British passport even tho me and his mother are not yet married? Further to that can he also get issued with a Philippine passport? I seem to recall my uk daughter travelled abroad on my Brit passport years ago....is this valid for my son as well?
Finaly (getting it all in on one post) Marriage.....easier here than in PI? I've been living out there for past 2 years and now gone back to my job so, ideally would like to do it here.....as it seems less paperwork.
Sorry to go on !!!!!

First of all your son is already a Filipino citizen from the day he was born, her mother can apply her a Philippine passport at anytime.

About applying for your sons British passport, you'll need to register his birth in British Embassy in Manila. There are applications and fees you will need to pay for this. Go to British embassy's website for more details.

The law has changed and any child will have to travel and use their own passport.

For me the best, easiest and cheapest way for your partner to get a visa to come to the UK is to marry in the Philippines.
