Is it possible to have British Nationality if child was born after his/her father died before she/he was born?child father was the only one with PR, his wife(child mother) don`t have PR status yet.
they have another child, she is British Citizen because of father PR status.
Thanks in advance

I believe (although cannot see anything on Home Office website to confirm) that if father had PR but is deceased before the birth of the child, the child, if born in the UK, will be a British citizen by birth. Section 48 of the 1981 Act.

Make sure the father is documented on the child's birth certificate.

I agree. section 48 confirms that the child will still be British even though the father died before the birth.

Will they still put his details on the birth certificate?

yes,but abroad, Poland

i dont think there will be any problem with putting the father on the birth certificate if they were married. she should make sure she takes her marriage cert (with translation) as well as the death cert when she goes to register the birth. If in doubt she should call the local register office beforehand.
