Hi,
We had a baby recently and would like to apply for british passport for him. We both are on ILR even before he was born.

I am thinking of using the post office passport check and send service. When I use this service, what original documents do I need to send along with the passport application? Do we need to send either my passport or my wife's passport? We also have a full birth certificate for him, and our original marriage certificate.

I am a bit apprehensive about sending original documents in mail, and would like to avoid it, if there is a way. Any advice, gratefully received.

Thanks.

See Q2 in Citizenship FAQ - Common Questions - Read before posting - Passport. I suggest you also read the passport guide (link available in the FAQ).

Thanks Jambo. I have read the link and now understand that I will definitely need to send either mine/wife's passport with our son's passport application.
