Hi Friends, I am a British Citizen and my son born in India. We didn't applied for Indian Passport. We applied for BRITISH passport for him and we got the BRITISH passport now. Do I need to apply for EXIT CLEARANCE before travel to UK? Any other things to be carried before travelling to UK? Please l...
As my kid British Passport application is taking lot of time, shall I cancel existing applicaiton process and start the ROA application? Is there will be any complications if I do so with the British Passport Office / Visa Office?
It would be strongly recommended to get a British consular birth certificate: https://www.gov.uk/register-a-birth Ideally- this should have been done before you applied for the child's British passport. As for the long delay in processing- you may want to contact your Member of Parliament for assis...
A ROA or CoE is generally much quicker than an application for a British passport from abroad, but your child would first need an Indian passport as the ROA/CoE is put is issued as a sticker/vignette in the passport.

Overseas passport applications can take between six months and a year. It may have been better had you applied directly for a CoE-RoA and then applied for a British passport when the child is back in the UK. Thanks Simon. I just spoke UK visa team about COE-ROA visa and they are suggesting me to ap...
Great Many thanks Simon. The reason I was considering COE application is - I already applied for a BRITISH PASSPORT for my kid on 20 Feb but it got stuck at overseas checks since 3 months and no updates since then yet. Is it OK to apply for COE visa by applying to Indian passport while BRITISH PASSP...
Hi Hima02/Harry, I am also in the same situation. I am a British Citizen through naturalisation and my wife got ILR. From your post I can see that you have applied for ROA but not to COE. I heard from another thread that we only can apply for COE. Please see below. Could you please confirm which one...
Hi Obie/Other, Many many thanks for all your valuable comments and answers. @Obie - As I am little worried about my kid BRITISH PASSPORT application processing time. Not sure when checks going to be finished. Hopefully at some point they will be finished and will get BRITISH PASSPORT. As per your su...
