My husband called and explain that we are married in the UK and if we could produce the certificate instead, but the agent refused and insist of my cenomar and my birth cert. we dont mind applying for my cenomar. It is just it will take 6-8 weeks the processing plus the amount of postal time from where we live to the UK.

The Agent even threathen that my other 2 children will be investigated if there is a problem with my cenomar(of course i was never married before so i am not worried about it). Just the fact that my husband is a british. Is it not that enough to prove to get a passport for my new born child? By the way, we sent my husband birth cert, passport and my child birtcert.
Hi,
My friend also got the same problem last month when she applied a passport for her british daughter. Yes, I am afraid it is one of their requirements now on certain circumstances.
My friend came here on fiance visa 10+ years ago/got married/gave birth in uk and now wanting to get a British passport for her daughter as it's the first time they want to fly out of uk for a holiday.

Here's what she do:
she applied online for her cenomar:

I know it will take about 4-6weeks for you to be able to received the documents from the PH but worth a try... for you and your kids benefits.
good luck and hope it helps
