basically I have obtain my citizenship in 2018 after 10 long years staying here.My son was born in 2016 abroad. We don t live in the uk anymore . Do i need to fill the 3.1 and 3.2?

Thanks

They may expect the child to be living in the UK, etc.

We don t live in the uk anymore

Do click on the link that vinny has provided (clue is the word MAY).

A child born abroad is usually expected to have 2 years residence and hold ILR before they can apply when one parent is already British and the other parent holds ILR.

They have no entitlement to register as British if born abroad before you got ILR or British citizenship.

I had obtain my Ilr in 2015 and my child was born in 2016

It is completely irrelevant if the child was born abroad. It would only make a difference IF the child was born in the UK, which you state they were not.

In order to register as a British citizen, children born abroad are expected to hold ILR/PR themselves, with at least one parent either holding British citizenship or applying to become a British citizen and the other parent holding ILR/PR. Registration for such children (born abroad) is not a right, but at discretion under Section 3.1 (Section 3.2 does not apply as you are not a British citizen by descent).

Read Pages 27-31 (Other applications under Section 3.1) of the Registration as a British citizen: children guidance.
