UK born baby Indian and British citizenship query

Post by guyinlondon » Thu Jan 14, 2016 4:23 pm

Dear Experts,
Need your help. I am British citizen my wife holds Indian passport and she is my dependent and our baby born here in UK. We know by birth he is eligible to get British passport.
We are planning to shift India permanently in 3 years’ time and we would like to apply for Indian Passport for our baby on the basis of mother because she holds Indian passport.
Once we will get baby’s Indian passport what do we have to do to get right of abode certificate stamped on baby’s passport so there are no restrictions for baby to come here in UK any time in future.
As India doesn’t allow dual nationality this is what we have thought because we don’t think we will be able to pay NRI school fees once baby will start going to school.
Please advise. Hope someone can help us out from this situation.
Thanks for your help in advance.

Was the baby born after you obtain ILR or British citizenship?

Has the child been registered as an Indian citizen with the High Commission of India within one year of birth?

You will need a letter from the Home Office stating that the child does not have a UK passport.

Once the child gets an Indian passport, apply for a CoE-RoA.

Remember that CoE-RoA will not give the child the ability to travel to Europe as an EEA citizen, only to the UK.

Ans: Child is just one month old and i will register as an Indian citizen with the HCI pretty soon.


You will need a letter from the Home Office stating that the child does not have a UK passport.
Ans: How would i get letter ? Whom do i have to contact ?

Once the child gets an Indian passport, apply for a CoE-RoA.
Ans: I will do that.
Remember that CoE-RoA will not give the child the ability to travel to Europe as an EEA citizen, only to the UK.
Ans: Thanks for letting me know this but i presume child can apply for british citizenship if he wants. Am i correct ?

Use Form NQ to get confirmation that child has not been registered as British.

However, note that child is automatically British.

Thanks for your response vinny. Once i get indian passport i would be applying for a certificate of entitlement to the right of abode in the UK so child can come to UK whenever he wants.

I only want Confirmation of non-acquisition of British citizenship to apply for indian passport. I hope applying for NQ will not affect ROA application for my child.

Awaiting your kind reply.
