Hi,

My daughter was born in November -2017 at this point in time I was on Tier 2 general Visa. We have a birth registration certificate that we get from local council / registration.
We didn't make her Indian passport as we were not planning to travel anywhere outside country.

As of now I have ILR, so can I directly apply for here UK passport as we planning to travel to India.


Can anyone help me out with the possibilities/ options on the table.
- do I need to apply for here Indian passport first?
- Can I directly apply for her UK passport directly?
- Do i need to first go through the naturalization process and then go for passport?
- URL / Links for reference or to start the process.

Also a estimated - timescale for this.

Thanks for the help


Cheers

so can I directly apply for here UK passport as we planning to travel to India.

No she cannot as she is not a British citizen yet and only a British citizen can apply for a British passport.

You have to register her as British first on form MN1. Once she is registered and you have the certificate, only then can you apply for a British passport.

do I need to apply for here Indian passport first?
Not necessary, as the baby born in UK before your ILR would be eligible for Naturalization and passport after you got ILR


- Can I directly apply for her UK passport directly?
No; you have to apply for naturalisation first and register baby as british citizen. it takes usually 2-3 months and £1033 fee.


- Do i need to first go through the naturalization process and then go for passport?
Corrrect. using MN1 Form

Thanks for the quick responses...

Hi,

I'm filling the From MN1 for my daughter... and I need some help with it...

Below section... what should I enter? Since I'm filling this form for my daughter should I enter no?
Also since my daughter was born in Nov 2017, should wouldn't have address for 5 Years so what should I enter? Nationality ... this will remain Indian?
Thanks for the help!

Lastly - My daughter doesn't have any BRP card and in the list of documents it mentioned or provide BRP card details.... (Not sure is this a mandatory document or not?) ?


Thanks for the help!

Your daughter doesn't have ILR so why are you stating yes??
