Pregnant on Student Visa
Hello there,
Just a quick question, may have already been answered but I have pregnancy head and can't find it! I am having a baby in Australia, obviously it will not be an Australian citizen but how do I go about getting a British birth certificate and getting the baby registered while I am here??? We will be heading back to the UK when the baby is just under a year so will also have to get British Passport as well.
Any answers would be fab thank you!

A child born in Australia will be given an Australian birth certificate. You can apply for a British passport via the High Commission in Canberra and the forms can be downloaded off the web.
