Hi all, I hope everyone is sound and safe. I am looking for an advice, please input if you can, I appreciate your time.

I am applying for my child's first UK passport, let me give you quick facts:
1. My ILR approved : Nov 2020 (5 years Tier 2 general)
2. My wife visa: Dependant visa (eligible to ILR March 2022)
3. First child: born in 2018, registered as British citizen after I got ILR, then he got british passport Apr 2021
4. Second Baby: Born July 2021

So based on this I am sure second baby is british citizen during birth as I have granted ILR before that. I thought the application process will be straight forward based on above, seems it's not. I have been asked to add following documents in original:

Applicant's document: Full birth certificate
Parent's document : Full birth certificate / naturalisation document / Non-british passport showing ILR
Grand parent's (maternal) document Full birth certificate + Marriage certificate
Grand parent's (parental) docuemtn: Full birth certificate + Marriage certificate.

I am okay with applicants and my documents but however I find this is a little bit odd, asking for grand-parents document, as they live in my home country and I am not sure they have all this document in english or not. And it would be time consuming process for them to send these original documents + translation and un-necessary hassle comes with it.

So I am wondering, if any of you have faced this and what have you done to resolve this issue. I really appreciate your opinion on this matter.

Thanks,

Was the second child born in the UK or abroad?

Thanks for your reply,

second child born in UK.

Just provide your ILR BRP and the child's British birth certificate.

Many thanks for your response.

would you think that will satisfy the case worker, if all supporting documents were not provide.!

Grandparent documents are NOT required!

Many thanks both for your advice

You’re usually automatically a British citizen if you were both:

born in the UK on or after 1 January 1983
born when one of your parents was a British citizen or ‘settled’ in the UK
