Documents you need to send

You’ll need to send the following documents with this form:

• the birth certificate or adoption certificate for any child born in the UK
• the child’s birth certificate and passport or travel documents used to enter the UK, if born elsewhere

Do not send photocopies.

Before you start

If you’re using an older browser, for example Internet Explorer 8, you’ll need to update it or use a different browser. Find out more about browsers.

You’ll need to fill in the form fully before you can print it. You cannot save a partly completed form so we suggest you gather all your information together before you begin to fill it in.
