First passport for child born abroad

Post by Flipflopper » Wed Apr 16, 2014 4:10 am

Hi guys, first post looking for some guidance.

Living in the USA currently and moving back to the UK this year sometime and need to get my 2 US born kids British passports.

I've looked at some of the documentation and am a little confused what I should provide as evidence.

I am (a male) British by birth, born after 1 January 1983.
Both kids born after 1 July 2006 so marriage certificate is not required
Is my long form British certificate plus a colour copy of my passport enough to prove my citizenship status?

The reason I ask - when I submitted the application and printed off the declarations it now says I need to prove their grandparents (my parents) claim to citizenship, but can't find any requirement anywhere else on the .gov website to indicate this is necessary. I applied for my older 2 kids last summer and didn't need to provide any grandparent information.

This is what I found at = page 14

Also I only have 1 long form birth certificate, can I send the applications together or do I need to a)get a 2nd certificate or b)do it one at a time.

Long birth certificate (one for both if applying in the same envelope) + your passport number (copy is not really required) is enough.

Grandparents details not required if you submit your passport number (see bottom of page 15).
