Online it says “the person should work in or be retired from a RECOGNISED PROFESSION.” If you clicked on the RECOGNISED PROFESSION link, you will see the list of acceptable professions that the person should be in. You can Google recognised professions that can confirm British passport identity. Follow the link on the UK government website to access the list. I hope this helps.

Hi Cynthia We have applied for our 4 month old baby British passport. Today i got a email back from HM office the person you choose to confirm identity doesn’t meet the criteria . But we have double checked the criteria and everything was matched. Do you think it could be because that person stated he know the applicant from last 2 year but the baby is 4 month old?

I really hope you see this, but I am only 14 and my dad was updating my British passport. Upon tracking my passport, the history says: Application submitted-24th March Application received-24th March Documents received-2nd April Ask someone to comfirm your identity- 3rd April Email sent to person comfirming your identity-25th April Identity detail received-26th April As its currently the 6th of May, im supper worried because im going on a school trip abroad, and my teacher wants my passport in about 3 weeks. Is this wait normal? Its been 8 days since its said idenity details received, have we done something wrong, or is it just a matter of waiting for them to approve my application.

You don’t need to worry about this. I understand that your teacher wants your passport in about 3 weeks, it is likely to be ready before that time. I don’t know how busy the government is with processing passport applications at the moment but all I can do is encourage you to be patient. I shared the timeline for my child’s application here👇🏾. You can go through it but note that no two passport processing time is the same. Timeline for British Passport Application.

I think you need an immigration advisor as I am not an immigration advisor or consultant. However, I will share my suggestion on this. I would state it in the form that my child doesn’t have grandparents and we don’t know their details but I had to include something to pass through that stage of application because it won’t let me. It means that while filling your own visa or anything to do with the home office you should use the same details and the same explanations. I would add this explanation at the end of the form where they ask for any other supporting information.

Leave to enter is given to someone entering the borders especially when you pass through border clearance. It so permission to enter or stay in the UK. Leave to remain is what someone gets that allows them to stay in the UK for a limited period of time. All the best!

Hi, can we apply for my baby's passport if he is only 1 year old? For example, when confirming the identity, you need to ask others if the confirmation needed is the applicant's or the parents' identity? because it is stated that they need 2 years to have known you, for example, a neighbor or colleague.

Hello Ionutz, If I got you right, you want to skip the birth registration and certificate process of your baby to apply for British passport? I don’t think the application can be processed without birth registration certificate. You need to Google, FormT and MN1 on the UK government website. Read about both forms for registration to know which one best applies to your baby’s situation. Then complete the registration form and submit it. On the government website, you will see both free and paid immigration lawyer support if you need it. If you need fee-waiver, you can follow the instructions and apply for it. You can also call the government phone number on the website to know which decision best suits you. You have to complete the birth registration and provide the supporting documents required and then the government has to approve it before you apply for your baby’s British passport. I am sorry if I can’t be of help or I misunderstood your question. I truly wish you the best!

Hi, The documents you need to send to the Home office will differ from applicant to applicant. In our case, it was the birth registration documents for both child and parent with British citizen. Don’t send any document until you receive the message to do so. It states the exact documents you should get. As soon as the confirmation of identity is done, you will receive the message about the document and address you should send it to. I wish you the best!

@cynthiaacademy
@cynthiaacademy 8 ай бұрын
Hi, You have to put in an application for your twins and they have to be in the UK when you do so. It depends on whether your husband is British by birth or by naturalisation. If your husband is British by birth, your twins will be British automatically. Therefore you can apply for British passport. However, if your husband is British by another means, you will have to apply for your twins to be British citizens first. Once that has been approved then you can apply for their first British passport. Congratulations on your twins! If this is not clear, you can contact the home office and they will give you the best advise and way to go about it. I hope this helps you.

Hello Kiranjit, It depends on your circumstances. If the parent is a British citizen, then all you need to do is get your child’s birth registration document from the council and apply for his/her British passport. However, if the parents have indefinite leave to remain, you need to do a birth registration and certificate on the government website. Please to go to the government website and complete an MN1 or a FormT depending on your circumstances. Read about the two forms to be sure which one is best for you. If you are confused, contact the government phone number on the website. When the birth registration and certificate has been prepared and approved, then you can apply for a British Passport. I hope this information helps you. I wish you the best.

I was not asked those questions when I filled the application. If the naturalisation of your baby is through baby’s grandparents then it is understandable why they would want that. I suggest you ask baby’s grandparents to ask for another birth certificate. You can ask for birth records in the UK. Contact your local authority in the county of birth and they could assist you. You can also contact the government through their website for further advice on what to do. I wish you the best!
