British Passport for child born in Canada

Post by smv » Fri Jul 27, 2018 4:33 pm

Hi,

My son's father is British Citizen and living in Canada with me. Our son born in Canada but we would like to take British Passport for him.

I am still searching online and couldn't find a solution whether we directly apply him for British Passport or do I need to obtain British citizen letter before applying for passport.

We are planning to go settle in UK. I'd like to know, is it easy to apply from Canada or apply when we go there.

Someone please advise.

Child is automatically British by descent and can apply for a passport directly.
