Getting a UK passport for my daughter?

Question

I am English/English ( My roots go back to the Midlands 17century)

I have a UK passport. My daughter is 7 years old and has a French passport ( from her mother) We're not married but I officially recognised my daughter here in Spain when she was born...But not with the UK embassy...too much to do at the time.

Question... Are the steps to give my daughter a UK passport still as complicated as 7 years ago ( married , not married?) and roughly how much will it cost me? thanks in advance.

Answer 1

If you were born outside the UK, even if you hold a British passport, the answer is no (my daughter was born in France and has British nationality through me; my granddaughter, also born in France, does not have the right).  A British-born woman can pass her nationality on to her child born outside the UK.  It's more complicated for a British-born father who is not married to the (non-British) mother.  The following website gives a short explanation: www.plsimon.co.uk/citizenship.html.

I would advise you to contact the consulate in Madrid.

Additional information: Goddess is correct, only one parent needs to be British.  However, that parent must be born in the UK to pass his or her nationality on to a child born abroad.

Answer 2

My understanding is that only one parent needs to be British to apply for citizenship of the child.

Answer 3

i can just tell you this:what ever it costs,how many lines you have to make,red tape to go through-if you really want this do it now because wen she is over 18 you can no longer do it.

Answer 4

Contact the Consulate in Madrid, you should be able to make the application through them and they should be able to give you the information you need.
