Hi Moderator
I have been searching for a section on website where I can find out the document that I need to send for citizenship for my son who was born abroad.
My understand is that I need to send the follow
- Child original passport
- Child original birth certificate
- Original Marriage certificate
- My Passport photocopy
- My citizenship certificate photocopy
Is there anything else I need to send? Sorry if the information is available on other sections of the website. Happy to be re directed
Regards
Kibria

List is OK.
I assume the child is now living in the UK and that the other parent has ILR.

Thank you. Is it okay to send the photocopy of the passports or original have to be sent? This is because I have to travel and can't send the original. Is photocopy acceptable? I don't have British passport yet. Wife has got I.

And yes child is now living in UK. I tried to get an appointment via Nationality Checking Service however they refused to book the appointment saying my son who was born outside UK hasn't got ILR. However I have read that a child whose one parent holds ILR and other has got British citizenship can be registered as British citizen at the discretion of Home Secretary
The appointment officer just didn't understand and was not willing to book appointment so I am applying directly

You were also advised by Amber in the thread below that ILR was required for the child born abroad.
