Hi ,
First of all you guys are doing brilliant work , u guys helped me in past regarding my citizenship back in 2020.here’s again I need help for my child citizenship .
I got citizenship by naturalisation in 2020
Married outside uk same year
Child born in 2021
Do I need to apply his British passport directly from my home country ?
Or first need to apply for his citizenship certificate ?
Which documents I need ?
( I never have my birth certificate but I have my educational documents of my home country )
I think my wife also dont have her birth certificate.
We have marriage certificate and child birth certificate
One more thing I was married in 2020 and I was absent from uk for about full 1 year after my marriage …… will this affect my child’s citizenship?
Also how much fee for the application and processing time .
Need your guidence
Thanks

If the date of birth of the child was on or after the date on the naturalisation certificate, the child is born a British citizen by descent and you can apply directly for a British passport for the child along with your naturalisation certificate and the child's birth certificate.

Be aware that as the child is a British citizen by descent, their children (your grand-children) born abroad will not be British citizens automatically (British citizenship is restricted to one gerenation born abroad).

Irrelevant and no, it will not affect the child's citizenship.

Apply for a passport.

I will leave the other questions for others to answer as I do not know their answers.

Thanks ,I am still confused about complete process of applying my son’s citizenship.
Can someone answer my questions who has gone through all of this .
Waiting !

If child is automatically British, then child cannot apply for British citizenship.

Do click on secret.simon’s link or Overseas British passport applications for details.

Thank u for answer my questions , what I get is if a child born outside uk of a British parent by decent the child is automatically British and just need to apply passport directly in the UK consulate .
Please reconfirm ,
Thanks

No, if child is not automatically a British citizen, then child may not directly apply for a British passport. Then child may be entitled to register.
