Applying son s first British Passport
Posted: Sat Mar 20, 2021 6:04 pm
Hi there
I am applying online for my son's first British passport. He was born in the UK in 2006 and I also received his Certificate of registration as a British Citizen on 16th Oct 2019. We are his biological parent and we (myself and my wife) were already married at the time of his birth according to my religion. I also have an English Translation of Marriage Certificate My self and my wife both have permanent residency in the UK since 2018 however we did not apply for a British Passport due to COVID. My son is living with us since his birth and our (myself and my wife ) names are also mentioned on his birth certificate.
While i was filling the online application for my son, I came to know that I have to send the following documents for my son's passport application:
Applicant’s documents
Send the following:
1. naturalization or registration certificate
2. any current or expired passports from other countries that haven’t been canceled
3. any court orders (for example that describe parental responsibility or residency arrangements)
I wonder about this court order for parental responsibility as I do not have anything like this. Also What is a residency arrangement that I am supposed to show for it?
Can you please comment do I need to send the court order, or my marriage certificate and son's birth certificate is enough to prove parental responsibility? Also, do I need to send my and my wife's permanency residency permits with his application?
Kind Regards
