Dear all,
Our son will be illegitimate at birth as his Indonesian mother and I have yet to marry. According to Indonesian law, only his mother will appear on the birth certificate. I will therefore need to do a paternity test to confirm the baby has a British father for him to become a British citizen as well as his Indonesian nationality. I would want to do the same for Germany as I have dual nationality.
I would be grateful to hear advice from anyone who has been in this position.
Did you appear on your child's UK or German birth certificate? Did DNA testing take place in Indonesia or in UK/Germany? How long was the process? Anything I should know as I begin this process.
Many thanks,
Alexander
