Is My Child Automatic British Citizen?

Post by nsesi » Wed Jun 05, 2019 7:49 pm

I am Non -EU Family member and having UK Permanent resident since 2018 and my baby was born in UK May 2019. So is my child automatic British citizen? Baby dad is Non-European and not living in the UK.

Yes the baby is British as you were settled before baby was born

If the child was born in the UK after you acquired permanent residence, then yes, the child is automatically a British citizen and you can apply directly for a British passport for the child with their brith certificate and proof of your permanent residence.

Given your child was born this year, and you became a permanent resident last year, your child is automatically British.
