Naturalisation & citizenship

Hello All,

Please I need your advice

I currently hold an indefinite leave to remain which was issued in May 2012. My family and I would like to apply for naturalisation and I have a question regarding my son.

I have a 3 year old son, who was born here in the UK. At the time of his birth, both my wife (mother) and I were on Tier 1 General extension visa (FLR). I have gone through the MN1 guidance and noted that for children born here in the UK, they have a right of registration following settlement of their parents however not clear if this means that we have to submit a MN1 application or not.

I would like to confirm if we need to make a MN1 application for my son as well at the same time we’re applying for naturalisation or if we can go ahead and apply for his British passport.

Thank you in anticipation of your response(s)

You can apply for your UK born child (using MN1 form) at any time.

Thanks Guru
