Place of Birth on a Passport if you were born in London!?

[kingseven]

Applying for passports for two DDs. Do I list their place of birth as London or the district/borough they were born!? Can't find any help online. TIA.

District/borough.
Basically, whatever it says on the birth certificate!

Thought so as the birth very states borough not London. Thanks!

Yes, what it says on the birth certificate (I.e. Westminster/Bromley/kensington/Putney).

I agree, birth certificate is what counts. We live in Bromley but the hospital is in Orpington and this is what it says on her passport despite Orpington being a part of Bromley.

I have 2 children born at the hospital above. Birth certificate for eldest says Bromley and middle child says Farnborough! When it’s not really. But have just gone with what the birth certificate said. Last one born at home so no confusion.

It seems even Bromley registrar is not able to get a straight forward solution.

DH was born is Guy's and his passport just states London.

In Guy's*

DH has London, DD has the borough, DS and I have the specific place! All match our birth certificates.

DS was born in Guy's B Cert says "Bermondsey".

My DS was also born at the above mentioned hospital and has Farnborough on his passport

We’ve always put London.

Mine just says London

Dd's has the specific area, rather than the local authority or London.

My husband's says Lewisham.

Mine says the name of my London Borough

Both sons born in same London hospital and Registered at same town hall. I wrote the same info on both passport forms (at different times) copied from birth certificates but one passport came back with borough on passport and other has local town

Mine says the name of my borough, same as my birth certificate

DD and DP were born in the same hospital (obviously a number of years apart) his passport says London, hers the borough name. Me, I wasn't born in that London.

I was born in London Hospital, Whitechapel and my passport says London.

DSs passport says Croydon. Not sure what DHs says (born in Paddington)

I have London Borough of Brent...

DD's says Chelsea (Chelsea & Westminster hospital)

Mine just says London, born late 80s in Dulwich

Just checked my BC didn’t that has registration area of Stepney, admin area of Tower Hamlets. It also says London Hospital, Stepney rather than Whitechapel, anyway passport still just says London!
