"they were quite clear that the Divorce and Child custody order were enough to legitimate my son as British by descent and so eligible for a British passport"

Sorry, i don't understand how a divorce and child custody can make your son British by descent.

If your EX-wife is British, surely her birth certificate would be needed. That normally is what's needed to make a passport for a child (by descent) as well as the child's birth certificate with mother's name on it.

My ex wife is Thai. He was born before I married her and only became eligible for a passport when I married her. If I had remained un-married he would not be classed as British by descent and could not apply for passport. The divorce and child custody papers prove I was married to his mother and therefore he is entitled to a passport , going by the home office rules

My son was born out of wedlock in Thailand and he got a British passport no problem.

After 2006 ?

Have a look at the rules mate , if a child was born out of wedlock before 2006 they will not get a British passport , if subsequently you married the mother they are eligible , Well done mate but no need to chirp

Mexican Stand off time , At the Moment I have 3 Solicitors,2 Anglo Thai and one Specialist British Immigration Lawyers telling me that they can and should use mitigating circumstances to forgo the submission of the Mothers Birth cert as I have sole custody. Had a phone call from HMPO on the subject and the Bird just kept saying " Its Policy , its Policy"

The Brief in the UK does a lot of leg work for me for free , Hes been fighting cases with the Home office for 16 years and said they are the worst people he has to deal with. I think the changeover to the Home office has not affected run of the mill Applications, but anything a bit out of the ordinary they get their immigration mafiosi on it

Got my passport back through the complaints channel , rubbed it in about carrying my Passport at all times and Marshall law, complaints bird said we'll send it straight away , the knob dealing with my case wanted a signed letter asking for it back, anyway she won and I got my passport back yesterday

Has there been any progress on the passport application?
