Applying to child's first British passport.
Hi all,
Just looking for some advice about documents required in applying for a first British passport on behalf of my son.
I've tried looking on the .gov website (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/overseas-passport-supporting-documents-group-2/applying-for-a-passport-from-outside-the-uk-supporting-documents-group-2-accessible) and it seems as clear as mud as to what exactly is required.
He's British by descent with no previous passport, a British father and Chinese mother. I've managed to ascertain that we need:
- Application form
- Two passport photos
- Child’s birth certificate (with translation)
- My British passport
- My UK birth certificate
- Marriage certificate (translated)
Is there anything else that is explicitly needed for submitting?
