Child born outside UK

[ABUK23]

Dear members,

Appreciate if someone could assist. I am British Citizen through naturalization, my wife is Pakistani citizen and never been to UK.

I am currently living in the middle east and we are expecting our 1st child who will be born outside UK. I was wondering how to go about it and can my child get British citizenship/passport after the birth?

I will eventually apply spouse visa for my wife as well but want to do that at later stage once we are ready to move back to UK.


Appreciate if someone could help.

Thanks

Your child will be British by birth (British by descent) and you can apply for passport directly. It may take a few months to get it though as they are processed in the UK.

You will likely need your naturalisation cert and your passport.

Thanks for your help CR001.

I do have passport of course, i do not have my naturalization certificate as its been close to 10 years and i moved countries since as well. but will try and dig out.


Many thanks once again
