Re: First Passport for Baby

If at the time of the baby's birth, either of the parent has atleast the status of ILR or Naturalised/British Citizen, you can apply for your baby's passport directly (i.e no need for MN1). If in case, the baby was born when either of the parent didn't had atleast ILR, then the baby has to be Natura...

HO accepts GP references. However in my experience the GP's are reluctant in giving the references anymore unless you really know them personally. However the best option is to go for minister or religion which normally they do very easily.
