1) you cannot naturalise a child - children are being registered not naturalised 2)if a child was born in the UK and at least one of the parents have settled in the UK - you can apply for a registration of a child using form MN1 Same applies if one of the parents has become a British citizen. In fa...
There is substantial discussion of Home Office policy in the following document, starting at page 27. Not all sections will apply. https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/638649/Registration-as-a-British-citizen-children-v2.0EXT.pdf In general- if the child is livin...
That's a valid point because who knows what's happen but on the other side when I requested SAR all the dates of issuing registration certificate and permanent residency card where on Home Office record - unlikely for them to just lose such a important peace of information . If in transit yes but o...
You arrived in 1973- but on what basis were you admitted by the United Kingdom. Were you granted an immigrant/settlement entry clearance in your Barbados passport? People from colonies generally lost British nationality on independence (Barbados- in 1966) unless they had certain ties through birth o...
Are you sure you are filling out the right form? Income and expenditure etc. is irrelevant for a Right of Abode application. That said- it's not clear from the Home Office site how to even get to the correct application form for Right of Abode from overseas. It would also be recommended to get a Bri...
Child does not have to be in the United Kingdom. The registration certificate will be sent directly to the address requested. Unless child is close to age 18 and turns 18 during processing. Then the child needs to attend a citizenship ceremony either in the U.K. or at a British diplomatic post. If b...
Your son is eligible for registration as a British citizen. As long as application is made before he turns 18. (also- if you wait until he is 10, then there is a good character requirement). Whether or not your son has ILR is irrelevant to the application but in this case he has it- so enter the det...
Unclear what can be added to the information already supplied. There appears to be a couple of options to become a British citizen. As it appears that you are stateless then form S2 may be best because a. it gives British citizenship otherwise than by descent and b. it does not require the Home Offi...
Child can be registered as a British citizen. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/application-to-register-child-under-18-as-british-citizen-form-mn1 Child will lose Indian citizenship upon becoming British- although this may not be important. A British passport can be applied for in India alt...
Child does not have to be living in the U.K. for this kind of registration.
You say you have ILR- are you living in the United Kingdom? It's not enough to have ILR in itself- the parent must also be ordinarily resident in the U.K.
The child is U.K. born with a parent who has Permanent Resident status. For this kind of registration (section 1(3) of the British Nationality Act) the consent of the other parent is not required. Nor is it necessary to submit any documentation regarding that parent. Depending on the EEA/other count...
Since you are now a British citizen and she was born in the U.K., she can be registered as a British citizen. As long as application is made before age 18 and she meets the good character requirements.
Does she have another citizenship and if so, will she retain or lose this upon becoming British?
Keep all of these documents- permanently. There is always the possibility that in the future you may have to show that you were a PR on a specific date- or even that the Home Office could lose your citizenship file. In addition- you should always keep a valid British passport (it is the de-facto ID/...
No point to withdrawing the passport application. You'll lose the fee and will have to pay again when reapplying. It may be an option to ask the Passport Office if they will hold the application while you apply for a Nationality Status Certificate- they might or they might not do so. If they don't, ...
Just a little confused on point 3 as JAJ you mentioned that my father wouldn't have been a BC otherwise then by descent until 1983 which would be after my birth. Or am I reading it wrong and his registration in 1975 is sufficient for thsee qualifying points on the MN1application route under 3.2? Si...
Hello again I just received email from passport office I was ask them in my email if any different way how I can apply for first British passport for my adopted child without confirmation of british nationality status. .... I'm getting confused now by the phone they say something different. Followi...
Not having a passport doesn't mean that child is stateless. Child has the same nationality as yours & you should use form MN1. Child does not necessarily have the same nationality. Depends on the law of the country concerned. Many U.K. born children are stateless. However- MN1 is still the correct ...
The special status of Irish citizens in the U.K. is hinted at in various publications but not written down in a single place. Example references: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/status-of-eu-nationals-in-the-uk-what-you-need-to-know https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/fi...
And yes of course i will come back and let you know how everything turns out. The MN1 application process seems like something i could do my self but will most likely get a lawyer to handle the process on my behalf from within the UK...hopefully this can be done considering i will be in Egypt once ...
You're going to have to apply to the Home Office either way (sooner or later)- either MN1 or a Nationality Status Certificate application- if you want your child to be British. You say you've retained the services of a lawyer (did you pay?)- has this lawyer reviewed your circumstances against the Im...
The Passport Office will accept the Nationality Status Certificate as evidence of British citizenship. They will not need details of child's birth parents, etc. So apply for a British passport in the standard way once this is issued.
If you are having hypothetical discussions with the Home Office you probably won't get very far. You need to make the application which the Home Office will then have to consider and either accept or reject. In order to get a Nationality Status Certificate they do not need absolute proof that the ch...
She was married before and never told you that? In any case- if she was married already then her marriage may well be void -at least under British law- and your British passport application may be rejected as a result- due to lack of British citizenship. However, you may wish to consider applying fo...
