Consent letter and Passport question for minor children

RochelleT wrote:Good afternoon,

I am in the process of scheduling an NCS appointment at the Bexley manor house for the naturalization application of my two children both of whom were born in the UK based on Section 1(3)/ and my ILR and have two questions;

1.Both children currently hold Nigerian passports, one of which has expired (My daughters'). Do I have to bring in a current/up-to-date Nigerian passport for her or can I use an the old one? it doesn't not require to be current unless it was renewed

2.Their father and I have been separated for about 2 years and he has since moved out of the country. Will a consent letter from him suffice? Yes a consent letter separate from the form will be required (assuming your husband is a non-applicant in the registration application). Without this it will take some time. refer to para 9.18 in the chapter 9 link below

I look forward to your response.

Kind regards,

Rochelle

Chapter 8 wrote:8.6 Consent to the application
8.6.1 As the applicant has an entitlement to be registered as a British citizen if the requirements in 8.1.1, 8.1.2 or 8.1.3 above are met, the absence of parental consent (in cases where the applicant is a minor) is not a reason for refusal. Therefore it is not necessary for the parent(s) or the person(s) having responsibility for the minor to consent to the application.
