Hi ,

I am applying for daughters British Passport from India. She was born here in the UK and at the time held Indian passport. She lives in India for last 3 years and she is 6 years old now. Could someone help me with below queries please,

- Whether to send original documents to the Home Office ?

- On the passport application it asks for place of issue on Certificate of Registration ( On the certificate it doesn't mention that, it just says Issued on the direction of secretary of state Home Office London) ?

- Is the Countersignatory needed for childrens application on the passport application?

- Whether to send original documents to the Home Office ?

It is HMPO that do passports, not Home Office. You need to complete the paper form for passports from overseas. You don't use the online form.

- On the passport application it asks for place of issue on Certificate of Registration ( On the certificate it doesn't mention that, it just says Issued on the direction of secretary of state Home Office London) ?

Obviously it is 'Home Office London'!!

- Is the Countersignatory needed for childrens application on the passport application?

Yes, it is mandatory for all applicants. Must be a professional British citizen (per HMPO list).
