Answer 1

Hi mate!

When i got a passport, i did it the quick way, got an appointment with the passport office and got my passport within 7 days (but i paid more).

You dont need to send mothers or fathers certificate at all, you just need to fill in the information about the mother or father (like where they born etc) they prefer having the fathers details! i think you have to fill it both boxes still but they prefer the fathers details for everything on a passport application!

You just need your daughters birth certificare, 2 signed photos (one signed from your doctor or teacher etc) and thats it mate!

good luck!

Answer 2

My daughters 18 year old friend had to send her mothers birth certificate in to apply for hers.

Answer 3

No - in a nutshell.

Answer 4

Note that if you know when and where the mother was born you can obtain a duplicate certificate.

Does the daughter only qualify for UK citizenship through her mother? If she qualifies through her father then the father's documents should be sufficient.

Answer 5

She needs her mother's birth certificate because of her age.  She is still a minor.

Answer 6

My husband is trying to get a new passport and it is proving to be the most difficult thing in the world. He sent his birth certificate and his marriage licence. That was sent back and he had to fill out another form. That was returned and now he has to make an appointment to be interviewed before they'll give him his passport cos THEY cant find his old one. How on earth do people get fake ones?

Answer 7

Nope
