My son was issued a passport when he was 5 days old. How can i find out if any other child was issued a full British passport (not an emergency travel document) at a younger age. Tried the UKPA but they dont have the info at hand and were unhelpful. Any suggestions

It is purely out of curiosity to see if my son was the youngest person to have been issued with a passport. It has been a longstanding wish to resolve the matter. remember when children were no longer put in parents passports, BBC ran a news story and to my astonishment they showed a 5 year old and said that he was the youngest person to have been issued a passport. I rang the BBC and explained that they my son was issued one when he was 5 days old. they accepted that they had got it wrong and changed their story to 'the first boy to be issued a passport under the new rules'. So it is just a wish to see if there are any younger children less than 5 days old who were ever issued a passport.
yes a photograph taken at 3 days old. Born 18 may, passport issued 23 may. If you are wondering why a passport was required at this early stage...I was working abroad and had to return to work after the birth and needed my passport so could not hand it in to put him on my passport. son travelled out at 3 weeks old (cannot travel before that age as lungs need to develop fully). I arranged the passport before i left. I am sure there is some child who has been issued a passport at less than 5 days old....maybe at a foreign post but i doubt that it will be a full passport, more than likely an emergency one...or be added to the parents passport.
