Registering a Birth

We aim to process applications for birth registration within 5 working days. We would advise the parents to register the birth at the British Embassy within one year of the child's birth.

 

Which births can be registered?

 

a)  The birth of a child born abroad after 1 January 1983 provided one of the parents (in the case of an illegitimate child, the mother) is a British citizen by birth, naturalisation, registration or adoption in the United Kingdom, or a British Overseas Territories citizen by birth, naturalisation or registration in a dependent territory.

 

b)  The birth of a child born abroad before 1 January 1983 provided the child was born legitimate, in a marriage recognised as valid in English law, and at the time of the child's birth the father was a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies by birth, naturalisation, registration or adoption.

 

A separate application is necessary for each birth registered. In case of multiple births the exact time of birth of each child is required.

 

The following documents are required to register a birth.  Please, note we cannot accept photocopies of documents.

 

• Child's local birth certificate

 

• Parents' British birth certificates (full version) or proof of claim to citizenship, e.g. Certificate of Naturalisation or Registration

 

• Parents' marriage certificate

 

• Parents’ passports

 

• Completed application form
