we just had a baby yesterday
![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
Do we need to inform the homeoffice?
Also is there anything particular I must do i.e. to be the main carer etc.
thanks

If either parents had ILR (indefinite leave to remain) or a Permanent right of residence when their child was born in the UK, then their child is automatically a British citizen under section s1(1)( b ) of the British Nationality Act 1981.
In general, non-British babies born in the UK are in the UK legally. They are not required to make any immigration application for leave to remain in the UK (Chapter 8 - Family members, Section 4a - Children born in the United Kingdom who are not British Citizens and Chapter 8 - Family members annexes, Annex P - General guidance).
In the case of non-British babies who may travel out of the UK and later return, see also 14.7 - Children born in the UK on or after 1 January 1983 but who are not British Citizens.
