Passport for US daughter?
Hello,
I'm a UK citizen moving back to the UK with my US husband and our US daughter.
Do I need to apply for a UK passport for my daughter before we apply for the Spouse visa?
Also, do you know how much extra we need to prove in savings for our daughter? I know it's 62.500 pounds for my husband and I.
Also, the savings are kindly being gifted to us, do they need to be in a bank account in our name?
Thank you on advance!

Re: U.K. Spouse visa for US husband
If you are British born get your daughters first overseas British passport, all together it'll cost $94 and that includes the fees to send the documents and passport back. All you need to do is provide your birth certificate, her birth certificate, your parents passport numbers or their birth certificates. That way she's considered British and you won't need to sponsor her. It was so quick, I literally had my daughter passport in hand within 2 weeks!

Thanks, Britlulu. Are you referring to the MN1 form? ( Application to register a child as a British Citizen)
If so, thats great and I will get on it today!

Re: Passport for US daughter?
If you daughter is your biological daughter and you were born in the UK, then your daughter is already a British citizen (by descent if she was born in the US).
You need only apply for her passport.
