 Kev, she has to be a British Citizen to get a British Passport as she Lives out of the UK and will not Qualify for it otherwise, You can't get her a duel as you Don't live there anymore, this is my Understanding but a quick look at this may help

, she has to be a British Citizen to get a British Passport

 

 

Isn't there a difference between being a British Citizen and a British National?  I think this site explains the difference

 I guess the site will soon clear that up but to me it is all gobbledy Gook. Diana (Sonjack's Daughter) is the Daughter of a British Citizen and should in my Mind, be afforded a full British Passport. But Red tape and all that.

 

The Embassy is  a good Start for this Cos it will have to be there that any thing can be started I am sure. 

 

 Best of Luck My matey

If you're British and she is your daughter then she's entitled to a British passport. Just apply online and see what questions they come up with. Like "Provide us with DNA proof" :bash:  I don't know that they will but it is a possibility.

With what I do remember they can ask for DNA if they want to.

A friend in Manila was telling me that the UK tend to work on admin stuff, Medical Records, Scans (During and After the birth)  Seems they only insist on DNA if they smell a rat. If this is the First Birth of the Wife and the marriage is a sound one They usually are OK But YMMV of course.

to me, if everything is in Order it should be dealt with as if you were still in the UK But..............

 I still say that having the Marriage and the Birth Registered in the UK at the Registrar Generals off ice the way To Go.

Just done mine Kev.

 

You cant have the Birth or Marriage registered in the UK, It has to be registered in the Country of Birth.and where the Marriage took place

Waste of money getting birth Registered with British Embassy over there, Doesnt do you any good whatsoever.

You can get a British passport for your Child online, Just fill out the form online, But, the form doesnt ask for everything that you need to show them.....No need for DNA,,,,,

 

You need.everything translated into English.

The Form you need is OVS Form online.

 

Time of Birth Documents, such as baby inoculation records, Mothers antenatal notes/Postnatal/Delivery notes from the Hospital.

Your Child's Health or Medical cards. Ultrasound scans relating to the Pregnancy/Birth of your Child if available.

Child`s Birth Certificate.

Immunisation/Vaccination cards or records.

Your Child`s Baptism Certificate if available.

Your Passport.

Your Marriage Certificate.

Evidence of your present Address, ie,Utility bill, Voters card,National id card, Rent agreement, etc.

Family Photographs showing you with your Wife and Child covering her Birth to Present. Signed on the back stating who it is and dated.

You and your Wifes Birth Certificate.

Section 10 of the form needs to be signed by someone who knows you or your Child and should sign the back of one of the two Child`s passport Photo`s stating that it is a true likeness of your Child, Signed and dated.

If you cannot submit actual Passports they will accept colour Photocopies of all the pages, Even the Blank pages too.

 

I think thats about it mate,,,,,As I say they do not ask for those things on the form when you submit it, But they will ask for them after you have done the form, So send them all together to save you messing about.
