Hi! I had a search on the forum but I couldn't find my answer, so please excuse if this has already been answered elsewhere.

My wife and I are expecting our first child any day now and I have been looking about registering the birth with the British Consulate (info on their website) but there is not a lot there!! I wondered if anyone has any experience or knowlage! So a couple of questions.

First of all, I want to know if there is a time limit on this, do I have a certain number of days to do it or can it be done in a month's time after birth? Anyone know?

My wife is HK Chinese Citizan, and I am British citizan and my parents were too. How does this affect matters? What kind of citizenship is my child entitled to? British citizen? British citizen by decent? British Overseas?

Any tips or info would be useful!! Thanks.
