Also, do check with the IHC that you can send your Indian ppt by post, the last time I checked, it was illegal to do so (however in case of a valid ppt).British wrote:But i cannot vouch this happening in the entire India.

The Indian government can say what it likes about this, however India has no jurisdiction over who is a British citizen.British wrote:Well, that may be true, but as for the Indian govt. is concerned, once I apply for Indian passport for my daughter, she cannot enjoy another citizenship parelely.
Correct.So from what you are sayig, she retains her British status anyway, so all i need to do is to get her the ROA sticker and come to UK and apply for her British passport once in UK, straight-away, no need for any other registration etc.
Her British syle birth certificate will make things easier. Without it, processes like getting a passport will always take longer. And you don't really want her to be in a mess later in life if she needs a passport quickly and can't obtain one at short notice because everything needs to be double-checked.But i know that to get the UK style birth certificate, its the same process (applying with that horrible set of vague documents like Personal description forms, etc) which i would like to avoid - because if I have to go through the same process to get the UK style birth certificate, i might very well apply for her British passport itself, straight-away!
I have confirmation fro British HC in New Delhi that the process and additional forms to get the British style birth certificate is also the same. So that's a nightmare too.
I will post here the BHC web site link regarding applying for British style Birth certificate soon. You will amazed to see that that list the same as for applying for her British passport.
Would i not be able to apply for her British passport once she is in the UK, without her British style brith certificate from India?
But wouldn't you have to get the ROA stamp from the BHC in New Delhi? So wouldn't you have the same problem?British wrote: i.e. we could get her Indian passport + ROA, then come to UK and apply for her British passport (yes, it will take some time because we will not have her British style birth certificate) then once we get the passport done, we could apply for her British style birth certificate once we go to India next year on holidays.
British wrote: get her ROA sticker from VFS - a separate de-centralised specialised office and that too locally in Chennai, that is responsible for issuing UK visas. So we don;t have to apply to BHC in New Delhi
