Hello, my name is Jessica. I was born on UK soil but raised on US soil and hold dual nationality.

I need to declare my children's births to the British Consolate here in the States as they are also eligable for dual citizenship. Can I only send one application at a time (I have to provide my birth cert and other info and it can only be in one package at a time) or can I send a bundle with my kids info and my personal info and get it done in one mailing? Once I get that taken care of, do I have to apply for their British passports individually or can I send one big package with all the personal info? I have four kids and this could be a long process if I have to do it individually.

Thanks for any input

Hi there, and welcome
I sent 2 off in the same package for birth registration and passports last year. I got the entire package sent back, without anything being done, but that was because (like a total tw@t) I had forgotten to get the passport photos signed on the back.....duhh......They put a form in with the reason for 'rejection' and it didn't mention anything about mulitple applications in the same package.

Hi,

I have a seven month old born in the US, & will be getting him a British passport. From what I have read you can just apply for the passport, you do not have to register the birth with the embassy.

But you may wish to do so so that the birth can be re-found in case the passport is ever lost etc. Next best thing to having the birth in the GRO records.

Thanks for the advice, I'll do that too.

This may help with your decision. There is no reason why you shouldnt apply for all the passports at the same time.

very handy to have it though...not just in case of lossing a passport, but proof that your entitled to the passport as well...
