I know this has been done a thousand times but can't find the exact answer i'm looking for! Hoping you can help :)

Is there a company that can obtain the British Birth Cert for me? I know that baby steps can get the local certs (i've got these) but I don't really want to go to the British Embassy with my 2 yr old and 4 month old to get the British one.

I have the passport already (got in the UK as DD travelled home on an emergency travel document). Tried to get the birh cert whilst I was in the UK but was not possible and was advised I need to get it here!

TIA :)

kts, how did you go about getting an emergency travel document? Did you need a specific reason to be able to get one? I want to take my little one back to the UK about 4 weeks old (for medical follow up) and not sure if passport will be ready in time so was considering this as an option and then getting the passport in the UK.

Hi, I don't think there's a company doing this. But you don't have to go to the embassy anymore, in fact, they don't see people anymore. You have to courrier your docs and payment and you get the certificate back by courrier within a couple of days. Actually, you don't even have to go to a courrier service, they can come to you... So let me re-phrase my 1st sentence... Yes there is a company doing this, any courrier company will do. Hope it helps.
