How has the community responded to changes in the advice and support provided by moderators?

Darren *********

How do I register my newborn son at the UK embassy in Thailand?

Darren *********

Getting a passport and registering the birth are two separate things. Although much of the paperwork (and translation) appears to be the same. I just applied for U.K. passports for both by sons. We all use

here down on the islands. Very professional. Checks everything prior to application, attends appointments. 5k. 👍🏻
