Having a 22yr old dual citizen son, and meeting so many parents, children and families, I've been amazed by the lack of attention often paid to ensuring that they and their children have all the right credentials such as citizenship, ILR, passports and languages. Either laziness, apathy or negligence on their part. If entitled to a passport, why not get it to ensure freedom of travel. Not difficult. BTW: my son, born and lives in the UK, had his Thai birth certificate and passport by age 3 months. Renewed each 5 years since, as was his UK pasport each 5yrs as child then 10 years as adult. Again, not difficult. Stop complaining.
