Sandy, was your baby born in Philipines? If so, you can bring your baby to the embassy and apply a Chinese passport for him. If your baby gets the Chinese passport, then he will acquire Chinese citizenship. However, your baby still needs to register at the police station where your husband's household is registered. It's said that this process is complicated. You'd better ask your husband to consult with local PSB. Dual-citizenship is not admitted by PRC. So if you plan to change your baby citizenship in the future, your baby should cancel her Chinese citizenship first.

Sandy, PSB refers to local police station.

is it true that my baby need to undergo dna testing in that local police in china to prove that he is really the son of my chinese husband? thank you :-)

Ruby · Answer

Usually, the birth certificate is enough. But I don't know if the police station has any other requirements, DNA testing, for example. Your husband is a Chinese. He can consult with the police station on this issue.

Hi, how about if the baby is born here in china, what does he need to have a passport, or travel document for him to go to Philippines.. baby is just 3 months old and we would like to visit Philippines..mother is a filipina and is staying here in china .

Well, if he doesn't want to give up Chinese citizenship then he need to apply for a visa before departing to Philippines. The specific documents needed you can consult the Philippines Embassy in China and their phone numbers are Tel:+86-10-65321872 Tel:+86-10-65322451.
