Re: Passport Delays
Yeah, the help and support here has been fantastic. It just reminds me of all the reasons I left the UK in the first place. So long and thanks for all the fish folks!

One can be furious and think it's funny at the same time...you know "If I didn't laugh, I'd cry" type thing?

I will put your toys back in the sand box....

Re: Passport Delays
Really? You'd (figuratively) cut off your child's nose to spite her face?
The UK/EU will always be 20x more important to her than to you.

Re: Passport Delays
When she is old enough to apply on her own, it wont matter who her parents were married to at the time she was born, and she will be able to apply for a British passport if she wants it.
Despite the whole argument, the fact remains she is still 50% British and you can't take that away.

I think I'd be doing her a favour at this point.

You are being ridiculous now, probably because you can not meet the requirements to pass British citizenship directly to your child.
I was lucky, they changed the law for a few minutes to allow people like me my shot at "my birthright" (which it wasn't, btw).
She may not be able to apply on her own as an adult.

Re: Passport Delays
I was "50% Canadian" for 45 years and I couldn't get a Can passport.

I'm well qualified in this process already.

Re: Passport Delays
They are not asking for that. They are asking for a declaration she wasn't married to someone else when the child was born. She was. ou need to find out how they want the resulting problem resolved. Sending a marriage certificate which proves the opposite of what they are asking, isn't going to resolve this.

Providing her marriage certificate to another man isn't going to resolve anything for me or the British Passport Office, so I need better options.

Re: Passport Delays
Have you emailed the person in the passport office and explained the situation. Otherwise just supplying the declaration, which you can't do, and her marriage certificate might just prompt further questions and delay.
