not pregnant but...
'Ello, 'ello, 'ello, been missing in action for a while but while I was away I was pondering.
If we were to have a baby, could it have a NZ passport even though not born in NZ? As most of you know, BF is a NZer but clearly, as he is a BF we are not married- does that make a difference? We would also want it to have a British passport, could it? (We live in Italy and if it were born here, how does that affect things?) Give us a clue! |

I think it would have dual citizenship but it all depends on what countries you are from as some dont allow it. Just because you are not married doesnt make a difference as he would still be the 'father'.
Dont know anymore than that sorry Would I need to go to Britain to have a baby in order to have a better chance of it being British (that's to anyone - not just ezzkazz)? |

Don't believe that had we been married at the time it would have made any difference. Cheers I'm not worried about them passing their NZ and/or British nationality onto their children - they can decide what they want to do about that then. And of course, there may well not be a world by then or it may be one state or the countries may have different names or any number of doomy gloomy outcomes. Is it possible to hold three passports? |

So did you register the births with NZ House after you'd got married? As we're not necessarily intending to get married at all.

No - We registered them before we got married. |

We would also want it to have a British passport, could it? (We live in Italy and if it were born here, how does that affect things?) You would need to get a British style consular birth certificate and British passport from the British Embassy. If neither of you are Italian, then child won't automatically be Italian just by being born in Italy. |

As long as you are a British citizen born or naturalised in the United Kingdom (or Channel Islands / Isle of Man) then the child will be British (by descent) automatically. You would need to get a British style consular birth certificate and British passport from the British Embassy. If neither of you are Italian, then child won't automatically be Italian just by being born in Italy. So, am I naturalised with my British passport then? Incidentally, do you know if I can also apply for a French passport? Not sure why I want one but it sounds quite cool, doesn't it? |
