Hi I live in the UK with my husband and his daughter- they both have indefinite leave. We cannot afford to apply for naturalisation for my husband but we would like my step daughter to apply for British passport which would make it easier for me to travel with her if my husband is not accompanying us.
I see from the form (MN1) that parents have to give consent to apply for citizenship of child . In this case would my husband's consent be enough or does the mother in Africa have to sign too? She has already given official permission for my husband to bring her over here and raise her with me. However I do not yet have guardianship rights although I plan to sort this soon.
So two questions really
1. Do both parents have to give consent for naturalisation of child? Would one parent be enough or one parent +guardian?
2. Can my husband alone appoint me legal guardian using solicitor to draw up papers in UK ar does the mother of my step daughter have to consent to me being guardian too.
There is no problem getting consent from mother as we on very good terms but would like to know what official evidence is needed to confirm her consent. eg official letter drawn up by lawyer in W Africa.
