First child passport outside UK - clarity on required documents

Post by hamakhaa » Tue Oct 16, 2018 9:01 pm

I am trying to have some clarity on the required documents for my child's first british passport.My wife and my child (2months old) is in Pakistan and I am looking to apply for his british passport as I am British (naturalised).

Based on the guidance notes provided for applying for the british passport outside of UK, in table A it says the following:
If you are applying for a First British Passport you must provide a minimum of 3 documents from the list below as evidence of name and address and/or residency including:
• at least one document with photo identity; and
• two documents which show both your name and address and/or proof of residency
• Non-British uncancelled passport
• National identity card or equivalent (or colour photocopy)
• Driving licence
• Any government or local government produced document which includes a photograph as part of the document
• Visa or residence permit (or colour photocopy)
• Tax record eg a letter from a tax authority
• Educational record eg school report
• Employment record eg official letter from your employer
• Letter sent to you from a central, regional or local government department
• Medical/health card
• Voter’s card
• Immigration documents.
My question is do I need to provide photo identity from the above for a child passport in addition to the below? Or only the below documents are sufficient for a child passport? If photo identity is required not sure what to provide?
As well as the above, if you are applying for a Child First British Passport the following documents are also accepted. One of the documents provided should show a link to the parent applying and show that the child and parent are resident where they are applying from.
You must also provide a selection of family photographs of the child with the parents, named and dated over a period of time from birth to current day

• Parents’ identity cards
• Child’s school records
• Medical/hospital records (birth records)
• Mother’s antenatal records
Regards,
Hammad.
