child benefit

[telford]

(1) Just because a child has a British father does NOT always mean that the child is automatically a British citizen and can have a British passport. This also depends upon other factors such as where the child, father, and grandfather were born and the nationality of the mother.

(2) Link to the child benefit site is here:

(3) In spite of the fact that my eldest son was born in the UK (British father / Filipina mother), my wife was not allowed to claim child benefit for roughly 10 years.

is this mean that my daughters situation is unusual since she's born here in Philippines and have a british father and a filipina mother and she got her passport her in Philippines? when we talk to consul jackson in cebu about her passport,she give us the requirements and after 15 working days we got our baby's british passport with no problem.
