Query about baby passport
Am 5 months pregnant atm and will prob go to England next May when the baby is 4 months old on my own.
We looked into getting both a Canadian passport and UK passport, but since to get UK is around 200 pounds we have decided against it for the time being. I know I need a letter from the father, that is fine. But is it 100% fine me travelling with the baby on a Canadian passport? The journey will be stressful enough without having any worries about this. Also how do you get a decent passport photo of the baby? lol |

I don't know if you would call it a "decent" photo. Our son had quite an idiotic expression on his face. But it's kind of fun to look back on it now.:) |

Congrats! :)
Do you mean will you have difficulty being on a different passport than your baby? I don't think so, I've never done it alone but me and Jr travel on Canadian and Mr B travels on British. I can never carry child/luggage/etc alone whilst Mr B goes through the "UK and EU" channel so I make him come with me through the "Other" channel. The officials are always fine with this. The only time I've had grief was in the USA from a snotty immigration official who would not let us go through the US/Canada channel together because one of the three of us did not have a US/Canadian passport. Really sympathetic to a screaming baby, he sat and twiddled his thumbs whilst we queued up to be processed by his colleague 2 feet away ;) As for the photo, we took Jr to a regular photo shop at 2wks old, "sat" him on the stool, held his head up with 4 adult hands (clearly visible with watches, and rings as well on the photo) and they snapped a shot. You would never recognise him in a million years. The customs official when I cleared our container had never seen anything so funny in his life and got all his colleagues to come and have a look at this ridiculous picture. I checked with the Canadian High Commission and they said it was okay for hands to be in the shot, this was 2yrs ago but I'm sure it's still allowed. A friend took a digital pic of her son herself, laying on a white sheet on her living room floor. That was for a UK passport and was accepted just fine. Good luck, enjoy the quiet plane ride while it lasts...when they start walking it's 8hrs of hell!!!! |
