Children citizenship questions - born outside UK

Post by KayEl » Tue Sep 12, 2023 2:32 pm

Hi, I have a similar question.

I received british citizenship (naturalisation) last year and now want to register my children. They are 14+16 yrs old, not born in the UK but live here for the past 9 years. My husband and children have EU settelement.

Which of the below should I select please?

Consideration under British Nationality Act

Choose which category to apply under. You are a child under 18 and:
(Required)
    You were born outside the UK

    - Your parent is British by descent and lived in the UK or a British Overseas territory for at least 3 years before you were born
    - Your parent is British by descent and you and your parents (unless they are legally separated) are now living in the UK or a British Overseas territory
    - You were born on or after 13 January 2010 and your parent was serving in the UK armed forces
    - You were adopted abroad by British citizen parents
    - You were born before 1 July 2006 to a British father and your parents were not married
    - One or both of your parents is applying for British citizenship
    - Other - apply at the discretion of the Home Secretary

    Also, under Personal Information it asks if parents are applying for naturalisation. Should I answer yes?

    Are either of the parents of the child (as stated in this application) applying for naturalisation as a British citizen on an AN form?
    - Yes

    I would still like my child (as stated in this application) to be registered as a British citizen even if my own application for British citizenship is refused.
    - Yes

    Thanks.

    Yes - Other.
    Does this apply for children born outside the UK who have lived in the UK for less than 10 years please? I have received my British citizenship last year and want to register my children now.

    Answer no to the first question as not relevant.

    Second question also irrelevant.
