Birth to foreign parents in the UK does not automatically make the child British (like the USA does for example). If parents were settled before the birth, child would have been British automatically.emanakinde wrote:Really? child was born here, birth certificate and even drivers licence states British. never left country for 26 years. is this still the case? i ask because registration is a substantial amount of money so that i know before doing so.
Are you sure? Last time I checked both birth certificate and driving licence didn't state nationality but country of birth. Being born in the UK (after 1983) doesn't entitle British citizenship automatically.emanakinde wrote:Really? child was born here, birth certificate and even drivers licence states British.

As Jambo has advised, registration is required before a passport application can be done.

Pls I have a question hoping you can help
I will like to kno if I need to pay the £1k fee for my sons britsh passport.
I acquired PR status in Jan 2017, and gave birth to my son in Feb 2017. But my PR date of issue is Jun 2017. Going by date of issue I wil need to pay as my son was born before this date. But going by date of PR status which is January 2017 I won't need to pay as my son was born afterwards. Pls advice which is right.
