Applying for British Citizenship for a newborn

[lindafrancis]

Hi,
I am planning to apply for the British Citizenship and British passport for my child.
Me and my husband are holding ILR visa.
I have few doubts regarding the application.
1)What are the procedure to apply for citizenship and British passport?
2)Is there any other requirement than parents being ILR holders for child to be eligible for applying for Citizenship?
3)What form should I fill to register him as British citizenship?
Cheers,
linda

1) Child is British. Shoot for passport directly..

2) No.

3) Passport form from PO. Or apply online.

You can use the 1 week fast track for a child passport. You will need to send one of the ILR BRP cards with the application.
