Allow emergency travel documents for British children born to overseas surrogacy

Summary

Allow British children born overseas via surrogacy to return to the UK faster by issuing emergency travel documents, granting access to the fast track first passport service, or enabling a pre birth application process where nationality is evidenced before birth. British children born overseas through lawful surrogacy are often stranded abroad for weeks after birth due to passport delays. This creates safeguarding, mental health, and financial risks at a critical stage of a child’s life. Only a small number of families are affected, but the impact is severe. Faster administrative routes would protect children, support equality, and uphold their best interests without changing primary legislation.
