How to get UK passport for my kid?
I am a UK citizen but my son was born here in the US (in 2001). How can I get a UK passport for him, whilst living here? Thanks.

You need to apply at the US Embassy in Washington DC. To be eligible for british citizenship, your son needs to have a parent that is a British citizen other than by descent. If you were born in the UK, then your son is a British citizen.

Read the wiki...you've obviously googled this site, so have a snoop...it's all there...as in numerous previous threads...
Just download the forms, fill them in, provide the evidence they ask for and pay the money.
Might want to get a consular birth certificate too....you'll find that in the wiki and past threads too.
