Can DS go on holiday with grandma without birth certificate?

[squarecorners]

I know the advice says full birth certificate, passport and letter from parents, but I can't find the long version of his birth cert anywhere.

Is DS's grandma going to be able to take him on holiday to the canary islands with the documents she has, which are photocopies of mine and DH's passports, letter, his own passport and potentially the short version if it will help?

Also why the fuck don't they just put the parents names on kids' passports if this is going to be a thing now?!

They're trying to although it won't solve the problem of lack of consent.

I'd say you should be ok with that. I'd do it.

I think you'd be ok with all that. My daughter has a different surname to me, going out was fine. Coming back they wanted proof of my relation (birth cert). I think as long as you have a contact number on the letter and short version, should be fine.

You can order a new BC on line, it is very fast....; depends when the holiday is

happyvalley I don't mind writing a consent letter but it's the having to find an extra document that annoys me, since they want the birth cert to check who should be giving the consent presumably. So why not just put parents details on a child's passport? Pretty sure I had to give our passport numbers when I applied for his anyway- those details should presumably be recorded by the border agency?
