Apply for a Home Office travel document

Skip contents

Family members

Each family member must apply for their own travel document separately.

If your child is not a British citizen

If your child is not a British citizen, they may be able to apply for a travel document if both of the following apply:

• they have the same permission to stay in the UK as their parents
• they meet the eligibility criteria for the travel document they are applying for

If your child was born in the UK

Your child may be able to become a British citizen, and be entitled to a British passport, if they were born in the UK to a parent who:

• was settled in the UK (known as having ‘indefinite leave to remain’) on the date of the child’s birth
• was a British citizen on the date of the child’s birth

Check if your child can become a British citizen.
