Congrats on the baby. The baby is British at birth because the mother had ILR prior to birth (assuming the baby was born in UK).Your immigration or marriage status doesn't affect the child.

Your subject says the mother had ILR before baby’s birth and the above highlighted says otherwise.

What is your immigration status?

Me and my wife also only have Islamic marriage and we have not registered our marriage in UK. However, I always find it best to have both parents especially mother’s name on the baby’s birth certificate. It makes things a lot easier in the future.

Okay I got it wrong. I read it with mother’s perspective but its the father writing.

If mother had ILR before baby was born in UK, as the user above posted, your baby is British by birth. You can apply for British Passport right away.

I will suggest you both have your names (mother’s and father’s) on the birth certificate.

It will have no impact as baby will be British through her mother.

I will like to post another link for your information which will help you in the future.

Your wife should retain her ILR for the future sake as that will be baby’s claim to British Nationality.

You DONT need to apply for baby’s citizenship. Your baby is British by birth.

Mother has ILR. Baby is born AFTER mother got ILR so baby is British by birth. You can apply baby’s British Passport straight away now. You will need to send mother’s ORIGINAL ILR for baby’s British passport.

However, note, once the mother is naturalised as in is British Citizen herself in due course, by law, she has to return her ILR- BRP.

But in your case, the mother’s ILR BRP is the baby’s claim to British Nationality and you will need that in the future also for the baby. (read the link I posted above).


For now all you need for baby’s British Passport is:
1) Mother’s original ILR
2) Baby’s UK birth certificate
and you can apply for baby’s British Passport.

My both children were born when I did not have ILR. We both parents have our names on the baby’s birth certificate. It has no impact on baby’s nationality as your baby is British by birth because of her mother not you. Only one parent has to have settled status before baby is born for the baby to be British by birth.
