Hi
My self British Citizen by naturalisation, currently in India with family
my wife is on ILR, currently residing in India.
We have two kids born in UK before we settled (ILR)
Now both kids in India there visa expired we planning to come back to UK

I wish to apply for my kids as British Citizen, before that i need to Register them first.
So all documents with MN1 is ready to post UKIV in UK from India.

required documents:
1) MN1 Form
2) Fees
3) Original Full UK Birth Certificate
4) Original passport's for kids (if any)
5) Parent passport with ILR or British Passport
6) Marriage Certificate

but unfortunately, I discovered we cannot send original passports of parents and kids to UK neither from post nor from Courier.
I spoke to UKIV (home office) about the above situation, and requested that i will send all photocopies but he said No he need to see original passports.

Please suggest what should i do to apply from INDIA.

Its difficult, and one senior moderator suggested in this link that should apply from within UK.
