passports for foreign children born in England

[disappointed]

The owner of my newsagent asked me if I could find out the following:
Her niece and her husband are of Indian nationality and have just a baby born here about 5 weeks ago. They are all three going back to India in about 4 weeks. Can they have a British passport for the baby or has the baby to be included in the parents (Indian) passport?
The internet is pretty vague on this subject.

I don't know the answer to your question but wanted to suggest that you post this question in the law or travel sections of the site,you may get a quicker answer there.

Anyone who is a British citizen is entitled to apply for a British passport.

Anybody born in the UK is entitled to British citizenship.

Sorry Tichfield, but it's no longer true that anyone born in the UK is entitled to British citizenship. See my post in the questioner's other thread:

They need to contact the Indian High Commission to sort this out. The child is definitely not entitled to a British passport.

anyone born in the uk is no longer entitled to british citizenship - it goes on their parents nationality now.
