Consent letter and Passport question for minor children

Good afternoon,
I am in the process of scheduling an NCS appointment at the Bexley manor house for the naturalization application of my two children both of whom were born in the UK based on Section 1(3)/ and my ILR and have two questions;
1.Both children currently hold Nigerian passports, one of which has expired (My daughters'). Do I have to bring in a current/up-to-date Nigerian passport for her or can I use an the old one?
2.Their father and I have been separated for about 2 years and he has since moved out of the country. Will a consent letter from him suffice?
I look forward to your response.
Kind regards,
Rochelle

2.Their father and I have been separated for about 2 years and he has since moved out of the country. Will a consent letter from him suffice? Yes a consent letter separate from the form will be required (assuming your husband is a non-applicant in the registration application). Without this it will take some time. refer to para 9.18 in the chapter 9 link below
I look forward to your response.

Hello,
For children it is registration for citizenship. for adults it is naturalisation process.
Please go through this thread
http://www.immigrationboards.com/britis ... 95747.html
Do children have ILR?
Are you british citizen?
Where is your husband located in regards to nationaility and immigration status in the UK?
Also have a detailed look into this chapter 9 registration of minors at discretion:

Chapter
9 is not applicable to
Section 1(3) applications.
Chapter 8 wrote:8.6 Consent to the application
8.6.1 As the applicant has an entitlement to be registered as a British citizen if the requirements in 8.1.1, 8.1.2 or 8.1.3 above are met, the absence of parental consent (in cases where the applicant is a minor) is not a reason for refusal. Therefore it is not necessary for the parent(s) or the person(s) having responsibility for the minor to consent to the application.

I stand corrected, thanks vinny.

Indeed, in so far as the statutory requirements are met, no additional requirements can be imposed. An application under section 1(3) is an entitlement rather than the discretionary applications under section 3(1).

Thank you so much all.
I got my ILR in February.
Seperated husband moved back to Nigeria in 2013.
Luckily, he has agreed to provide consent letters this week!
I'd err on the side of caution and provide these.
Thanks again all!

Hi,
I've applied for British passport for my daughter along with mine after receiving the citizenship. I've been asked by passport office to provide a consent letter from her mother for issuing passport for my daughter who is a minor. My wife is on ILR. Do you have a sample consent letter format that I can refer to?
Thanks
