hi aimee. You will need her full birth certificate, which will have her and her father's name on it so you have to obtain that first. You don't need for her to have the same surname as yourself. I think you have to get it from Somerset House in London, but ask at your Library about where to go for it.
I read today that the Postal Strike may affect the delivery of Passports towards the end of October but I think you can pay extra for a carrier to deliver it (at an extra charge) to ensure you get it on time. Your first step is getting the Birth Certificate.
I hope this helps.

Passports you can take all your documents to your nearest passport office, no need for post....
people that has known her for so-many years.a school teacher, doctor, vicar,etc.hope this is of some help.
the doctor wants ÂĢ20 to sign the photo
if you phone the registrars office where they birth was registered and pay about ÂĢ7 by debit card, they send the certificate to you in a couple of days, don't use the sites offering to do it for you they charge about ÂĢ30.
But yes Aimee - it is well worth getting it checked at the Post Office. When I applied for my son's earlier this year, I had it done - I checked what we had filled in but didn't think to check the entries of the person who has to sign the photo, and he had made a mistake. It saved me a lot of hassle, cos otherwise I'd have had all the forms sent back.
I'm tracing family history, and it costs ÂĢ7 for a cert this way. At least at the Registry Offices I've used, and I would think that would probably be the same at all local Registrars.
A teacher can sign if they've known your daughter long enough. What a cheek for a doctor to charge ÂĢ20!
I'd recommend you have the Post Office check on the form too. Well worth the saved hassle.
That is a disgrace
so what do i ask for at the registry office then?
it was what jackson said that confused me
If the child was born or adopted in the UK
IPS needs to see the child's full birth or adoption certificate showing parents' details and one of the following:
- the mother's UK birth certificate, or her Home Office certificate of registration or naturalisation, or her passport that was valid at the time of the child's birth
- the father's UK birth certificate, or his Home Office certificate of registration or naturalisation, or his passport that was valid at the time of the child's birth* and the parents' marriage certificate
Note*: if the passport expired before the child's birth, you need to send the passport on which the father entered the UK.
This is wef from 3rd September just gone

All the info is here...and she has to sign the forms herself.

Get a form from your post office (not all of them have them) and it will tell you everything you need.
As in my post above, for a first passport, she will need her birth certificate and yours too.
