Register Son In Uk ?

[moby]

Hello

My wife and I have a child of six months, I was just wondering if I can register him at the UK embassy in BK is there a time limit?.

Also will he be able to get two passports , my name is on his birth certificate in Thailand.

Thanks

If you are British otherwise than by descent, your son will be British, too. In general terms, if you were born in the UK, you will, as likely as not, be able to transmit your nationality to your son.

Should you be British otherwise than by descent, you may seek to register your son's birth at the British embassy in Bangkok and simultaneously apply for a British passport. For a list of the documents you'll need, see the embassy website. There is, however, no compulsion to actually register the birth, but it is useful to do so.

Your son can legitimately hold both Thai and British passports.
