Plenty of reading to do here:

Your child needs to get a passport issued from your home country...so talk to your embassy/consulate general...

In Switzerland the rule of jus sanguinis is virtually the sole criterion used to determine nationality of origin cf. to jus soli.

Re: Swiss Passport after birth

If neither parent is Swiss, the child is not born Swiss and will not get a Swiss passport. The child will have the citizenship of the parents. You will need to get your child a permit as well, though.

Re: Swiss Passport after birth

Yep just read the sites above and thats pretty much it. If the parents arent swiss they are not entitled to a swiss passport or citizenship.

Thanks again for the quick replies.
