Child born abroad whose Parents have ILR

Hello everyone,

Me, my husband and my daughter (who born outside the UK) arrived to UK in 2011 as refugees
and now in 2017 we all had our ILR.

Regarding my daughter's citizenship, please clarify which of these is the correct one :roll:

does my daughter (who is 6 year old now) eligible to be registered as a child under 18 as British citizen via MN1 form section 3 (1) as the parents have indefinite leave to remain??

Or does she has to wait for 12 months (like us) from the date of ILR to apply to naturalisation via AN form ??

Appreciated your assistance in advance

Thank you

She can only apply for citizenship when either of her parents apply so yes, she will have to wait.

thank you very much for prompt reply :D
by the way does she has to be applied with a separate application? because as I know that in naturalisation each individual will be treated separately. so, in my case; me and a husband and a daughter it means three separate AN forms? right?

2 AN forms for parents, one per adult.

Child will use MN1 form.
