I am expecting my first child. I am a British citizen by birth, but my partner has recently applied for ILR so not yet settled.

Is my child entitled to direct British citizenship because I am British?

Or is my childs status effected by the fact that my partner is not settled?

On my child's birth certificate should I enter the fathers name or will this effect my child's entitlement to citizenship as father is not settled?

the baby will be British by birth....just one parent needs to be either British or settled in the UK
