Applying for children's first passports from France

[cryingbehindsunglasses]

Hi all,

I just have a quick question re applying for British passports for my kids which I can't seem to find on line.
We live in France, kids born here. I am British and my partner is french.
For the British passport application, it says you need to send translated copy of their birth certificates. If anyone has gone this in grande, did you just use the ones that were issued when they were born it did you get a réédition as the french often require for official things? I am guessing the I've when they were born is fine and the U.K. does not have the less than 3 months rule.

This will sound like gibberish to anyone not living in France I guess!

Thanks!

Good question and I'm doing the same soon. I'm planning on using the original, not re-issued if that helps.

Thanks for the reply! Yeah I think the ones issued at birth are probably ok.
It's just I remember a colleague of mine doing this a couple of years ago and getting rééditions for some reason. No longer works here so can't ask him.
Sorry about all the strange auto correct in my first post, but you seem to have got the gist of it!
