British Passport application from India

Post by AMAN MADAAN » Thu Apr 29, 2021 11:32 pm

Hi
Hope everyone is well. I have a question how long does it take for first child British passport after the interview is conducted for overseas application (India).

I am British by naturalisation. I have a son born in india, New Delhi in aug 2020. I applied for his British passport in October 2020. Submitted all the necessary documents in New Delhi VFS centre where they were checked, verified, stamped then posted to Liverpool passport office. I was then advised to submit more documents for e.g. wife birth certificate on 3 feb 2021, which I submitted. I then received email to book an interview, which was conducted on 29/03/2021.

I am worried for my Childs safety as my 8 month old son is in New Delhi,India at the moment with my wife and the situation there is devastating because of second wave of Covid-19. Please help if you know how long does it take for passport office to issue child passport after the interview or if there is anything else I can do.

Thanks everyone in advance.

It can take 6 months - 1 year. However, you may write to Liverpool office and request to expedite the case given covid situation in Delhi.
