Ds was born in the UK,dh is British I am not.We are in the process of applying to renew ds's passport and are stuck on the question about whether ds was registered at the Home Office.(I think it is question 1b)
I think that as dh is British,when ds was born and we were living in the UK, we didn't need to register him at the HO,I would have imagined that registering there was for children who were born to parents who were non-Uk nationals (if that even makes sense)
If the answer is yes,we have registered him,then we need his birth cert. If we tick no,then we don't need the cert.
Hubby thinks we should tick yes and find (here is my problem!!) ds's birth cert which is somewhere in storage/the attic after 3 moves since he was born. Or pay to get a new one,but that will prob take some time to receive.
I think we should tick no,as if we have to tick yes,then every single child born in the UK to one (or more) British parent would have to tick yes so why would they ask that question?? Just say,send your birth cert if you want a passport,the end,lol!
He has an old passport so I am going to include it in the application.
If you have got to the end of this,what do you think? Should we tick yes or no? We don't live in the UK any more,still in Europe,though, and ringing the helpline is exorbitantly expensive :(
This is the link with the notes for question 1b,not madly clear,imo.
