Why is the child not british automatically? If you read the OP message well she said the father of the child had ILR at the time the child was born ,though they were not married at the time ,but the virtue of the fact that the father had ILR when the child was born , I think the child is british by birth if the father had ILR before the child was born.vinny wrote:As you are not married to your son's father, your son is not automatically British. However, as you now have ILR, see also child born in UK.
Child was born in 2005, hence before 1 July 2006, hence father does not count for automatic British citizenship because parents are not married. Child could be registered under section 3(1) of the Act, but now that mother has ILR, it's simpler/better to proceed under section 1(3). Either way, child isn't British until registered.troubled wrote:Why is the child not british automatically?
