British Passport for Children

[galatie]

Hi all,

My husband, who has been in the UK for almost six years now, just received his permanent residency today.

We would like our children to have a British passport - our son was born in October 2014, and our other son was born last month, both were born in the UK, but one was born before my husband acquired PR, and one was born after.

Can someone please direct me as to which forms we need to fill out for each of them, and what the next steps should be?

Thank you very much.

Pro tip: Beware of bungling HO and/or HMPO staff who refuse applications due to misunderstanding date of issue of PRC versus date of acquisition of PR.
