British Citizen?

Mr Chops

When your baby is born it will automatically be entitled to a British passport,,but you will still have to apply for a British passport and take the citizenship test,,I know this as my wife is a Filipina and still has to take the test for her passport but our daughter already has a British passport

Acquiring British Citizenship By Birth in the United Kingdom
Children born in the United Kingdom will not automatically acquire British citizenship by virtue of their birth in the United Kingdom if neither of their parents are British citizens or settled in the United Kingdom at the time of their birth(1).

Children born in the UK will only be British citizens if at the time of their birth, one of their parents is a British citizen or is settled in the UK. As the law currently stands(2) , a child born to parents who are married at their time of their birth or subsequently marry may trace their entitlement to British citizenship through either parent. If the parents are not married at the time of the childâ€™s birth or subsequently marry, the child will only acquire British citizenship if his or her mother is a British citizen or settled in the United Kingdom(3).

A child born in the United Kingdom may apply to be registered as a British citizen if after their birth, either of their parents becomes a British citizen or settled in the UK whilst the child is still a minor .

If neither parent is a British citizen or is settled in the UK, after the age of 10, a person born in the UK may register as a British citizen if he or she has not been out of the country for more than 90 days in each of the first ten years of his or her life(4).

nope, not true, you have to apply, where'd he get his info from?

YOU apply (because this process can take up to 1 and a half years to get yourself naturalized) and on your form, you have to mention that you are pregnant and once the child is born, inform the HOME OFFICE as a small adjustment to your application).

I took this here below off the Home Office Website:

Guide MN1 - Registration of a child as a British citizen
A guide about the registration of children under 18

This guide and the application form MN1 are for a person who wishes a child under 18 to be registered as a British citizen.

It is not necessary to fill in this form if you are a parent who is applying for naturalisation or registration as a British citizen yourself. You should apply for the registration of any of your children under 18 by including their details on your own application form.
