Child born in Aus
We have a new born in thr household, Alexa was born 2 weeks ago here in Aus. We (the parents) are permanent residents but not yet citizens.
What documents do we need to allow all of us to travel freely in and out of Aus? We are getting Alexa a british passport, but that wont have a visa in it (obviously).
Can anyone help me with what process to follow?

And get a citizenship certificate, to avoid problems proving citizenship later on. The birth certificate doesn't prove anything, and it's foolish to rely on passport alone.

Hi JAJ,
What about children born in Australia to recent aussie citizens ( Citizenship by conferral last year ) . Do we still have to apply for citizenship certificate for our child. The passports have been approved and on its way.
cheers
