Newborn Baby apply for citizenship

Hi,
I create this topic to ask about procedure to apply for my newborn baby.

She was born couple weeks ago and I will go to do her birth certificate next week. I have indefinite leave to remain (ILR) and my wife is Chinese. Hence my baby will be automatically become British citizen, wont she?

If I want her to have citizenship and also a British Passport, what should I do next after having her the birth certificate?

Many thanks,

Peter

If the baby was AFTER you received ILR, the baby is automatically British as you correctly state. So once you have a the birth certificate, pick up a passport application at the Post Office, complete it and send it with the required documents.

See the 'Passport' section in the link below :
