Hi all, just in the process of getting my 9 month old son his passport as we are planning a holiday back to the Uk in about 5/6 months time. Myself, husband and daughter moved here from the uk nearly 3 years ago so have our uk passports, my son was born here...my question is how do I go about getting him a dual nationality passport? Someone mentioned I could do this, so he has a passport in both countries...any one have any advice on this? Do I have to apply for a passport in both countries, so my son will have to carry 2 passports, or is it all on the one passport??

If you're travelling back to the UK as a family, it will get questioned at UK immigration that you're entering the UK on UK passports except for your son who is clearly also a UK citizen.

 

While most dual citizens do get away with it, international law does state that you're supposed to enter and leave a country of which you are a citizen, on that country's passport. Personally I will be maintaining both passports, as I do travel back to europe on a fairly regular basis.

Just go an Australian Post office and ask for application forms for passports. We got our daughters Aussie one first then her uk one a few months later. It is pretty straightforward. Not sure about a dual one this was not mentioned to us, you can call the number on the passport application form or their website to enquire.

No question will be asked as it will clearly state on his passport he is a citzen of Australia and using an Oz passport. I have traveled extensively throughout Europe and the UK, and through Asia, on both passports and found it made no difference which one I used in Europe or the UK. When my Brit passport expires I won't be bothered renewing it again.

When my children were born in Germany many years ago, we got each of them a consular birth certificate. We then go them added to our UK passports.
