Hi everyone,

I am in the process of preparing an application for my 8-month old son to get his British passport from South Africa.

Reading the guidance...
"If you are applying for a Child First British Passport the following documents are also accepted. The document provided should show a link to the parent applying and show that the child and parent are resident where they are applying from.
• Parents’ identity cards
• Child’s school records
• Medical/hospital records (birth records)
• Mother’s antenatal records"

Only my wife has an identity card...
My son is not yet at school...
With medical/hospital records, the notification of birth does not have my son's name on it (it is an interim notification, used to generate a birth certificate) - HMPO have told me up front that they won't accept this...
On the back of this, and "mother's antenatal records", do people think that a doctor's note confirming my wife's delivery of our son would suffice?

Thanks

That's the 'also accepted' documents list. Does your son not have any of the previous documents listed? Medical/health card for instance?

Thanks for the reply BritInParis!

Unfortunately not... he has none of the documents on the 'standard' list.
