My son was born in the UK in 2013, his mother is Polish but I am British. We are unmarried but he has my surname.
We were just submitting a passport application and we hit a stumbling block.
The application asks for our date of marriage or to leave blank if unmarried. Here's the thing though, it also states that "If the child's claim to British citizenship relies on the father's nationality then the parents must be married".
My son has a UK birth certificate so does this mean he's automatically a British citizen and thus doesn't rely on my nationality to claim citizenship? The rule around this are confusing.

) are often compared to muslims which come here with their big families not wanting to work and take all the benefits, but as I said before by latest statistics people with Polish nationality barley took 1/4 of what they brought. Polish people actually want to work, open up business, I don't see what's wrong in doing so?
