Hello Members.

What additional documents (e.g. Address proof (council bill) etc) to be submitted in addition to the one listed below for a Child first UK Passport.

1) UK Birth Certificate

Both the parents are British at the time of the child birth.

Many thanks in advance.

Hi CR001,

Yes, I did read it, the confusing part is Parents documents. Is that applicable to the case where both parents are British at the time of Child birth ?


What you need to send
You must send original documents - we can’t accept photocopies. Your application will be delayed if you don’t send everything we need.

Applicant’s documents
Send the following:

full birth or adoption certificate
if this applies, any court orders relating to the child (for example that describe parental responsibility or residency arrangements)
If you don’t have parental responsibility, also send the following:

a signed and dated letter from the mother (or other person with parental responsibility) giving consent for the issue of the child’s new passport

Parents’ documents
If claiming British nationality based on 1 of your parents being settled in the UK, send the following:

for 1 of your parents, the non-British passport they had when you were born showing indefinite leave to remain


Thanks

This does NOT apply to you if you were British at the time of the childs birth.
