What happens if the parent of the child is a holder of the British Passport but not born in UK? Will his child be able to get a British Passport?
Ah, then I misread the info when I was naturalised as a citizen. I'll have to look into it again before I have kids!

How do you tell between the two? It is stated somewhere in the passport?Original Post Deleted
The child would not be a British Citizen at birth if born outside the UK, as the parent is already British Citizen by descent. Under certain circumstances (eg. The child would be otherwise stateless) the child can apply for British Citizenship by Registration. Look this up on the govt website.
When you apply for a British passport for your overseas-born child, you have to submit either a parent's UK birth certificate, or a parent's British naturalisation paper. If you have neither, then your child is not a British citizen as you are British citizen by descent.
