Hi

I am a UK citizen and my daughter who is on ILR since 2019 and her BRP date expired on 28/04/2019

I have made an application to renew her BRP card to which biometrics yet to provide.

I am also in the process of filing Naturalisation application so i can apply for UK citizenship.

My question(s):
Can I submit Naturalisation application since i have made BRP renewal application?
Can I submit Naturalisation application with expired BRP card?

Please review and answer me on these.

Thanks
CR

Just to clarify, is your daughter over 18 or under 18? if she is under 18 she needs to apply for registration through form MN1.

Applying for registration and BRP are entirely separate processes and one doesn't impact the other to my knowledge.

Thanks for prompt reply.

She is under 18 and she born outside UK. To be clear She born before i acquired my UK citizenship.

The type of application I choose is "Apply for naturalisation as a British Citizen"

Thanks

As advised type of application is "Registration as British Citizen" form MN1.
Adults (18+) are naturalised.

Sorry , the guideline say's otherwise ?

Section 3(2) says
A child will qualify under this section if:
• they were born outside the UK
• either of the child’s parents was a British citizen by descent at the time of the
child’s birth

so based on this , can i still use "Registration as British Citizen" form MN1.

Again timeline:

• She born in India in 2014
  She got ILR in 2019
  I got my UK Citizenship in 2021

Is there any problem applying under "Apply for naturalisation as a British Citizen" visa type?

This is not your case, though?

Unless other parent is British citizen by descent.

But anyway, you apply via MN1, as you were told.

You are applying for registration under section 3(1)

Section 3(2) is NOT relevant to you!

Children are REGISTERED as British. Only adults are naturalised!

Is it possible to send me the right form Url from https://www.gov.uk/

Thanks

Hi

My daughter's has ILR visa(BRP) is expiring in JULY 2024 so i had made BRP Replacement Service application before "CHILD NATURALISATION MN1" application to which i haven't given Biometrics yet. I have also applied for "CHILD NATURALISATION MN1" application and to which bio metrics submitted and 2 months completed till today and i don't not hear from them yet

My question/concern is do home office consider "BRP Replacement Service" as a separate application and is there a possibility of delaying "CHILD NATURALISATION MN1" application due to "BRP Replacement Service" application ?

Thanks

Completely separate applications and nothing to do with each other.

Also, children are registered as British, not naturalised, which is for adults.
