So I've completed the UK passport application for my USA born child and am now confused by the wording regarding one of the supporting documents they are asking for:

If applicant born or adopted outside the UK - parents or adoptive parents' documents
The passport you entered the country from which you are applying or any non-British passport held.

Who do they mean? Do they want MY passport I entered the US on? Which would be my old cancelled one or do they mean my child? She was born in the US so that would not apply and I have already included a copy of her entire US passport and her Consular Birth Certificate.

Sorry for all my dumb questions, I have a hard time comprehending the wording, it does my head in Would be very grateful if anyone can clarify.

It would be your child's passport(s) which you are already supplying a copy of. The guidance used to allow you to send in just the consular birth certificate together with your child's passport. I would tempted to try that and see what happens.

Update. I did that but got a letter requesting most of the same documents I provided for the consular birth certificate. I sent all of that off and a couple of days after they received it they sent another letter rejecting my divorce paper because it did not show a link from my maiden name to my married name and they requested that I send my first marriage certificate...which of course I did not have! So I had to order that from the UK and send it to them all via fedex so that I had proof it all got there which cost me $$$ I went all the way through US immigration and was never once asked for that document but I understand that the passport office have to be extremely thorough and vigilant due to all the terrorism and fraud. I'm kicking myself for not having just sent everything I had in the first place. Soooooo......around 2 weeks after that all the documents were returned to me and 5 days later the passport arrived! All in all, it was pretty fast
