Question about baby born In UK

[neilroy]

hello,
Me and my wife planning to apply for our ILR next week on the basis of 4 years of work permit holder. We are expection our first child in 8 weeks time. I want to know what will I need to do proof that baby is BC and whether i need to register anywhere apart from getting a brith certicate to get a passport for the baby as we are planning to go to home for a few after baby's birth

Congratulations neilroy !!, I guess this would be in advance for both...

The letter issued to me by the Home Office when I got my ILR mentions that a child born to the ILR holder since 1 January 1983 could be registered as a BC if s/he is not, and any child born after the ILR date in the UK, would be automatically a BC at birth, provided the ILR holder is still settled. However, if the parents of the child have never been married, BC could be derived from the mother if she is a BC.

As per the above, in your case, if the child is born after you get your ILR, I guess a Birth Certificate will suffise for the child's BC and British Passport. I don't know, but I think the hospital can help you in child registration after birth.

Neilroy, Flash is right, any child born in the UK after you and/or your wife have got your ILR will automatically be British. So armed with the child's birth certificate it will be possible to obtain a British Passport for the child. Needless to say, it will also be necessary to prove your ILR status when the passport application is made.

I think the hospital can help you in child registration after birth.

In some maternity hospitals the Registrar of Births actually attends. But if not then the hospital will certainly be able to give you details of the address of the Registrar. You have six weeks after the birth to register it, although of course do not need to wait that long.
