I've just been to my appointment with the Trafford NCS. They didn't accept the application as is and I lost my £70 I paid them :cry: But I'm sort of glad because it could have been a much more expensive mistake. Basically as the application for the kids is done based on section 3(5), the Home office ...

Thanks CR001

Letter from GP stating length they have been registered at practice, hospital letters if applicable, childrens red book if applicable.... I have the original Registration Confirmation Letters from our GP practice when we first joined the NHS. Are these enough or do I need a fresh letter from the GP?

Sorry to insist guys, I'm still desperately looking for advice on what constitutes "Evidence of lawful residence" during the applicable residence period in the UK. I got letters from schools, utility bills and bank statements. Are these enough? My appointment with the NCS is in 10 days so need to ...

Sorry CR001, will keep everything here from now on.
Any help on the evidence of residence will be much appreciated.

The MN1 guide asks that the following is provided: "Section 3(5) – evidence that the child and both parents have lived in the UK for 3 years immediately before the date of a ...

What can be used as evidence of residence in the UK during the qualifying residence period? I've got letters from the schools confirming the kids' time there but it doesn't cover the whole 3 year period? Are tenancy agreements or utility bills acceptable?

If using the NCS to apply for child's citizenship (form MN1) AND passport at the same time, which passport form is needed?

Hi all Still waiting for advice on how to fill out section 2.3 of the MN1 form, regarding absences from the UK within the last 3 years. The children are EU citizens so there are no stamps in their passports, nor have I kept dates of when we've been on holiday the last 3 years. Any help with this ...

They are EU citizens so there are no stamps in their passports whatsoever. Only been away on holiday once or twice a year but no records of the exact dates have been kept. If I don't fill these out, or fill it only partially, will it be grounds to reject the application? I mean, do they actually ...

Hi all

I'm filling application form MN1 for my children's registration as British citizens, and section 2.3 asks for all abesnces from the UK during the last 3 years.
How can someone find out all holiday dates etc? I never keep records of these things going that far back..

Hello all, We are trying to establish whether and when we will be able to register our children aged 7 and 4 as British citizens. I'll get straight to our circumstances: I, the father, am a British citizen by descent. My wife is a EEA national (Cyprus), with no ILR. We are currently living in the UK ...
