MN1 Form (Address and Referee)
Posted: Mon Sep 09, 2019 9:59 am
Hi
I needed some information. My son was born April 2018. I was recently granted the ILR so I applied for my son's British citizenship filling the MN1 form online and booking an appointment for his biometrics
I have 2 questions below:
1. When filling the address details for the applicant, the form asked if the address you have stayed is less than 3 years, please insert previous address
Since the applicant (My Son) was born in April 2018, so naturally he will not have a previous address but i could not go onto the next step without filling in the previous step so I had to fill in the current address in the same section as well. What i wanted to know was if this is all right.
2. When selecting the referees for the form, when filling it online it says, The referee cannot be a solicitor, a relative and both referees cannot be related to each other etc.
However when after the application was confirm and the fee was paid, when i downloaded the referee forms, it says that one of the referees in the case of a child applying should either be a minister of religion, a teacher, a health care visitor or a social worker.
Now since my child is 17 months, he doesn't go to school or a nursery so how can i find such a referee who knows my son personally to provide a reference and also since this requirement was not mentioned when i was filling the online form, now that i had completed the online application and paid as well, i cannot go back and edit.
I need to know what are the options. At the moment the 2 referees are both family friends and they are both working professionals, the are not solicitors and they are not related to the applicant or related to each other.
A few people have told me that, the referees i have selected would be fine as they themselves selected the referees who are not minister of religion, a health care visitor, a social worker etc for their children
