I will be renewing the British passport for my first Thai-born son next month, who is now 15 years old. I will also be applying for a first child's British passport for his little brother, also born in Thailand, aged 6 years old.
A quick internet surf mentions DNA testing, which appears to be linked to first-time child passport applicants as well as those seeking to emigrate from foreign countries to the UK. Since the marital status with my Thai wife and mother of our boys is unchanged (we continue to live together under the same roof), and we do not seek to move to the UK, will HMPO seek a DNA test as part of the young one's first British passport application? It looks like things may have changed, but any actual recent experience on applying for a first British passport for a child born in Thailand of British/Thai parentage would be good.
Thanks!
