BRITISH PASSPORT FOR CHILD BORN IN PAKISTAN

Post by SHAF » Wed Apr 25, 2007 4:18 pm

Hi wonder if someone can help me.

We are still awaiting for an appeal date for my wifes visa who is still in pakistan. We had a baby boy on the 13th April and thankfully I was over in Pakistan with my wife and witnessed the birth

My problem now is I need to find out wether I can apply for a British Passport for my baby? If so how do I go abouts doing this? I myself was born in Pakistan and came to the UK when I was 3 years old. I have a British Passport, however I'm not sure wether I can pass my nationality as a British citizen onto my child as I'm not sure how I became a British citizen, theres not much paperwork at home. All i know is that I have a british passport.

Please someone advise on the steps i need to take, what documentation I need and how long the whole process will take??

Thank you!!

Where were you born? That's a good starting point.

Ah, missed that.

Question should then be where were his parents born.
