Can my child get a passport when mothers british and fathers not, he was born in uk??

Question

I am applying for my son's first passport, but i am the mother who's british born but the father isn't, he lives in another country and i havnt spoke to him since i was pregnant, so the fathers not on my son's birth certificate. is it possible for my son to get a passport without having his fathers details?

Answer 1

Yeah. You can do that as long as the father is no longer in your life.  

Answer 2

Yes, he is British! You are the sole parent, but, if you have any thoughts about going to the country the father is in - DON'T GO! especially if he is a Muslim! You might never see your son again!! Those people have a habit of snatching their children from British and American ex-wives!

Answer 3

Are you in the US? If so the local UK Consulate or embassy can help you do what is needed to obtain a UK passport. I don't think the father matters, but ask what kind of documentation you need to satisfy the requirements. Make sure your visa or work permit is in order.  

Answer 4

of course!

definatley hes a british citezen (sp) so are you course you can

Answer 5

Who can give consent?

If a child's parents are married, either parent can give permission.

If a child's parents are divorced, but they were married at the time of the child's birth (or, for those living in Scotland, when the mother became pregnant) or were married at any time after the child's birth, either parent can give permission unless a court has made an order about parental responsibility or about the child having a passport. Any such order must be sent with the application. A custody or maintenance order does not automatically remove parental responsibility from the other parent.

If a child's parents are not married, the mother can give permission. The father can give permission in the following circumstances only:

If he has a parental responsibility order or agreement (which must be sent with the application)

If he is named on the birth certificate (which must be sent with the application) and the birth was jointly registered after

It sounds a little strange but it seems you can do it on your own but I'm not certain about not having the father's details. You should be able to get one but they will most likely have to fill out extra forms stating at least his name and possibly the father's status in the UK (at the time of the child's birth).

Answer 6

The kid will get UK passport.
