Hi Guys,
I am in the same boat as you. I am going to apply for my child's passport. Both of us are UK citizens with an OCI. Baby born in India. From other posts, the following are the docs that people send.
1) Both parents original Naturalisation certificates
2) copy of both parents British passports. Copy of all pages of baby’s father’s british passport attested by a solicitor in UK as he was not in India at the time of application (Note it has to be attested by a UK solicitor).
3) Parents Marriage certificate
4) Baby's local Municipal Birth Certificate
5) Mother's Delivery Discharge summary certificate from the hospital where the baby is born.
6) Mother's whole medical reports during pregnancy (including antenatal appointment letters, scan reports and any scan pictures). We included medical reports and scans from UK and India.
7) 5 family photographs with the Baby with at least one photograph showing baby with both parents and one with grandparents.
8 ) maternity leave letter from my employer
Is this enough? From the supporting documents that FCO asks, they say things like driving license, letter from a govt organization etc. Are these the UK docs (trying to prove UK identity) or are they asking for docs in India (trying to prove the Indian address).
I called the UK passsport helpline for advise and he was of the opinion that it should be docs from India. But I doubt it. As we live in the UK and go to India only for holidays, we wont have anything to prove the address in India.
Any advise is really appreciated.
Thanks.
Raj.
