Passport For Son Aged 3.

[Chivas]

Forgive me if answers are obvious.

I am married to a Thai national (properly) with appropriate documentation.

Ous son is 3 in December and obviously has a Thai birth certificate.

I am a British national but was born in West Germany-I have absolutely no idea where the BC is at this time (certainly will need to replace)

It was issued in Hamburg that I do recall.

What issues am I facing here ?-it has been left since birth because of personal circumstances.

Thanks in advance.

You would be British by descent so I would doubt you can pass your nationality onto the child .

What is your date of birth as its all relevant information.

An example is if a child is born in Thailand to a British Father & he/she continues to live outside the UK and go on to have children they cannot pass on the nationality. You may need to do further checks as EU law may give you other rights as such & you maybe entitled to a German passport also ?

But I have added further links it all depends exactly when you were born etc..

Others will add to this post but if for example you acquired a German passport then the child would possibly be able to apply also. You could also exercise your treaty rights and your family members may join you in the UK on EEA Family permits ( your wife subject to meeting the rules). This is under review currently for dual nationals these are my thoughts & other people may give you further information on the subject. But that's the way I read the situation you are currently in. I have just taken a quick look at the guidance again we would need further information on how long your family resided in Germany . But I have added a link as will all things it all depends on both cases on your date of birth plus other factors. You may need to contact a German law firm to deal with this as they will be up to speed on most things or the German Embassy in London.

Maybe somebody else with more experience on this subject may well add to this post.

There may be an exception if one or both of "Chivas" parents were serving oversea for the "Crown"

Hope this document will be of use http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/documents/policyandlaw/nationalityinstructions/nichapter20/chapter20?view=Binary

An apology.

I should have stated that I have no German nationality or ever have, and my father was in the Forces based in Sylt in Germany.

Am 51.

In which case, as Basil's link shows, you are British otherwise than by descent and so can pass your nationality onto your son.

I don't know how the overseas births of the children of British forces are registered, but my suggestion is that you contact the General Register Office, who may have a copy. Contact details.

Ok Thanks.

Couple of months ago I posted a query reference an email contact within the British Embassy in actual connection to the content within this thread which I didn't want to air on open forum.

Obviously I had tried the websites listings but none had responded.Looking at another current thread on a similar subject it appears that this first application is initially dealt with in Bangkok, rather than Hong Kong.

Does anyone have a recent email address contact at Bangkok within appropriate consular section ??

Thanks

Service births are registered at the camp where the person is serving, this is then passed onto the British Embassy in the Area, who then register the birth.

My son and daughter were both born in Germany, registered in Germany then in the Barracks, so that I could receive UK Child Benefit. The camp sent the docs to Dusseldorf to register the births.

Thanks for the clarification on this matter.

That is totally different then you can apply for passports.
