Sorry but that is complete rubbish. I have no contact with my daughter's father and I was easily able to get a passport for her. So long as one of the parents named on the child's birth certificate is applying then there is no problem.

In the USA the 2 parents must be physically present at the passport office but in the UK you apply the normal way and wait to see if you are the one that gets called in for a check.

take a look at the application form ... it states that if an applicant child has two "qualifying" parents who are not domiciled together, then both have to consent. It is an offence to do so otherwise.
There is nothing to prevent one parent from not owning up, but should it be raised later in the court of law by a devious ex, then it is an offence.

Maybe things have changed or maybe it's because he doesn't have PRR (though how the post office man or passport office would know that I'm not sure!!)- he is named on the certificate - but I done it at the post office and had no problem as I ws named on her birth cert so obviously had PRR

I did put his name and DOB on the application but didn't know his passport number obviously and couldn't quite remember the exact place he was born but put what I could. Obviously I put all my details incl my passport number and the post office man said that was fine

You can ask for statements and look at how the arrears have been calculated. My brother is in similar situation and has just remortgaged to pay them off. His son is now 24 and ex had 3 more kids after his she was on benefits for the whole time and his weekly payments are more for the 1 child than she ever received from I.S. He has to pay cos he owes it

I dont see why his ex's 'situation' is so relevent. he had sex with her, got her pregnant and has to support his son, whether he was on benefits or not, his son still needed feeding and clothing.

If the father has full Parental Rights and Responsibilities, then the child cannot change his/her name without consent from BOTH parents.

Admittedely, hard to police, but if a name change is completed before the age of sixteen, without joint consent then the other parent may face prosecution.

A friend of mine living elsewhere has changed her kids surnames frequently with every change of 'uncle' and has never been stopped by the schools so (aside from the legalities) I think it all depends on how the schools feel about it.

Anybody can be known as what they like as long as it isn't for fraudulent purposes. My daughter told her school that whilst her name was legally her father's she wanted to be known as her step father's name. This worked really well. The only difference is that legal documents (such as exam results etc) are in her legal name but for everyday purposes she was known as her step surname.

Which is exactly what I said but got told I was talking a load of nonsense.

Thank you Kelloggs.:D

Funnily enough I was in the Arms the other night and another poster was saying how they got a passport for their child with no input from Dad - again, just like what I said I had done. I do wish folk would check things out without saying people are wrong and making them out to be liars.:mad:

I got a passport for my daughter without input from her dad either - I just said I didn't know where he lived on the form (which was true) - he had witheld it to be awkward - so I just got a replacement. There were no questions asked at all. That was however, over 10 years ago so I don't know if things have changed at all since then for passports.

Not always possible though is it? What if one has moved away never to be in contact again. Then you just state that you don't know where they are - it doesn't prevent them issuing one at all.
