Applying for a passport with incorrect birth certificate

[Louby286]

Does anyone know if one parent applies for a first child passport with false information they are committing an offence? By false information I mean, the biological father is incorrect on birth certificate and therefore incorrect on passport application form. Birth certficate is currently with GRO being corrected by biological father but mother has applied for passport regardless and got one. Using what she knows to be 100% incorrect documents and information. I don’t think it can be right or legal but seemingly it’s got through the net or maybe it is all
above board and legal? Help please

It only needs 1 person to apply for the passport so if the mother has a British passport then the child gets the right to British citizenship from her regardless of who the father is on the birth certificate

How can the father be ‘ incorrect’ if this is a UK birth certificate? If the mother and named father are married, the father on the certificate is the legal parent; if you are not married, the father has to be present to ‘consent’.

If your ( pardon my assumption if incorrect’ ) wife/ partner has applied for a passport with a correctly issued birth certificate, it is legal.

Mother and father not married and never have been. Mother and named father at the time were married but he was put on the birth certificate and not the natural father, mother knowing he was not natural father, later proved with a dna test. Birth certificate has never been changed and still carries the incorrect information. It is currently in at GRO to be corrected but natural father has had to apply for that as mother hasn’t and has sent it in for a passport application, knowing it to be false information! Just doesn’t seem right and no wonder there are so many false and fraudulent documents and scammers kicking about as it would seem it’s very easy to just apply for what you want and get it without proper checks being done!

She would have been able to get a passport for child even if a father wasn't named on the birth certificate as she can pass on her British citizenship to the child.

Did she know who the true father of her child was when the birth certificate was signed?
