Hi,

I am a British citizen acquired by naturalisation and my wife is an Indian citizen with ILR and currently living in India since 2012(was in UK during 2002 - 2012).

I am recently blessed with a baby boy in india. I want to apply for british passport for the new born.

So few of my questions:

1. As Child has one of the British parent so will be get British citizenship automatically ?
Do I need to apply for his Passport of is there any complexity in law to get one ?

2. I have registered a birth in India and have got birth certificate so Do I need to register again in UK for birth certificate ?

How do you help to get one.

Thanks

I’m afraid that your wife’s ILR may have lapsed after more than two years absence from the UK.

1. Yes. Child may apply for either a British passport or a CoE-RoA endorsement in an Indian passport.

2. A British consular birth registration may be helpful for claiming British citizenship, but it is not compulsory.
