Getting my baby British Citizenship after he was born in the US
 

I was wondering if anyone could help me. I’m a British Citizen who married my US C husband a few years ago and moved to the states (Virginia) with a Green Card. We recently had a baby who will automatically be registered here with a SSN etc, however I really want to make sure he also has British Citizenship - after hours of Google searches, I’m still unclear how to get this done in the correct way! Any guidance would be much appreciated. Thank you 😊

Were you born in the UK?

Yes, ‘born and bred’...but left 2 yrs ago to become a Permanent Resident of the US after marrying my husband who is American.

So child is already a British citizen...

In that case your son is already a British citizen by descent. You need only apply for his British passport. If want to formally document his status however then you can also apply for consular birth registration. More information on this is available on the wiki.
