British passport for child born abroad
Posted: Sun Aug 08, 2021 4:06 pm
Hello everyone
I hope you’re all doing well and are safe from this pandemic along with your families. I’m a naturalised British citizen now living in India with my wife who is an Indian citizen (she lived with me in UK for 2.5 years on a visa till 2019 when we both came back due to family reasons).
We’ve recently been blessed with a daughter born in India and are looking to apply for her British passport. I understand that this is a long process but would prefer this over the certificate to entitlement.
I’ve been reading documentation and in the process of filling the passport form for her and am trying to get some information on the counter signatory part. Can anyone who’s completed this process please tell me if the counter signatory in our case can be an Indian citizen living in India as we’ll be applying for the passport from India. I didn’t find much help on the British Gov’s website for applying from abroad.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
