Getting passport for nephew on SGO

Post by pollypocket » Thu Jul 14, 2011 4:27 pm

Hello All,

Just wondering how easy it is to get a passport for our nephew who we have an SGO for and have had since December? He is 3 and never applied for a passoprt before, obviously we legally can take him out of the country for up to 3 months but do we need mother to consent to passport? We have birth cert and obviously SGO paperwork?

Any experiences here please do share!

Many Thanks

you have everything that you need to be able to apply. mother's consent is not needed. remember, this is close to adoption and you can excercise your parental responsbility to the exculsion of everybody else with PR.

enjoy your hols

I applied when holding an RO for both grandchildren. Didn't need mum's consent, but needed her birth certificate. It did seem to flummox the passport agency somewhat but they just rang me up and told me what to do. It was done pretty quickly - within about ten days and it was quite a complex application.

Don't worry, they'll soon tell you if anything is wrong.
