Step-by-Step Guide to British Passport Applications for Children of European Nationals

Here's a detailed step-by-step guide to help you apply for a British passport for your child:

Step 1: Check Eligibility

Ensure your child is eligible to apply for a British passport. Generally, children born in the UK to a parent who has gained settled status or holds British citizenship are eligible.

Step 2: Gather Required Documents

Collect the necessary documents, including:

• Child’s birth certificate
• Parents’ passports or ID cards
• Proof of settled status or British citizenship for the parent
• Additional documents as required

Step 3: Complete the Application Form

Fill out the British passport application form (either online or via paper form). Ensure all information is accurate to avoid any delays.

Step 4: Obtain Passport Photos

Get passport-sized photographs of your child that meet the UK's photo requirements. Many photo services specialise in passport photos and can ensure compliance.

Step 5: Pay the Application Fee

Pay the required application fee online or via mail. Keep a receipt of the payment for your records.

Step 6: Submit the Application

Submit the completed application form along with all required documents. For online applications, upload scanned copies of documents. For paper applications, mail the documents to the designated address.

Step 7: Attend an Interview (if required)

Sometimes, an interview may be required to verify the application details. Be prepared to attend with your child and bring all original documents.

Step 8: Wait for Processing

The processing time can vary, so check the current timelines on the UK government's website. You can track the status of your application online.

Step 9: Receive the Passport

Once the application is approved, you will receive your child’s British passport via mail. Double-check all the information for accuracy.
