MN1 Application for UK born baby while baby is abroad

hi guys,

i'd be really grateful if anyone could help me answer a couple of questions regarding the MN1 application for my 20 months old son please. here is my situation:
-my son was born in June 2010
-i was granted ILR in Nov 2011

i was told my son is entitled to be registered as a british citizen using the form MN1. we went on holiday in december abroad and while i'll be coming back to the UK in a couple of days, my wife and son will be staying abroad for a while longer.

the questions that i have are whether i can apply using the form MN1 when i'm back in the UK? or do i have to do it in the country my son is on holiday in?

if i can do it in the UK, do i need to send his current passport with the application? if so, can i send his passport even though he'll be in another country?

thanking you in advance for your help.

kind regards,

Your son should apply in the country where he is located.
