Then why the MN1 guide says that "Once a child reaches age 18 they will have to apply to naturalise using form and guide AN"

Any special meaning or significance to this point?

Thanks John.

Therefore once either of the parents got settled or got ILR then the next day itself we can apply for child registration as British on MN1. No need to wait until the parents finished their 5 yrs period. Coz ILR will be given 28 days before 5 yrs.

I hope my question is clear!!
