First UK Passport for a Child Born in Thailand

First British passport for children born in Thailand to British or settled-status parents.

First UK passport applications need extra documents — full Thai birth certificate, parents' birth/marriage certificates, and a countersignatory. We assemble the full pack, complete the HMPO form, and coordinate the British Embassy's consular birth registration where useful.
