Hi,

I received my ILR on 30-7-2020 (spouse of BC) and am applying online for Citizenship.

1) Can I apply for my daughter who is 17 (and will turn 18 in September )with my application ?

2) If yes - Regarding reference does she need separate references ?

Regards
Sherb

1. Yes, but only if you apply before her 18th birthday. Otherwise she has to wait 12 months on ILR. She will still be required to attend a ceremony once she turns 18 and you will be asked to pay the £80 fee before she can attend.

2. Possibly, not sure what options you get when you add a person under 18 to your application. Please note that most of us do not have sight or experience of the online forms.

2) If yes - Regarding reference does she need separate references ?

Yes she needs two referees which can be the SAME as yours. But make sure one of them has to know the child in a professional capacity. For example in case if a child’s teacher provides a reference for her and yourself both.

Where the applicant is a child applying, one referee should be a professional who has engaged with the child in a professional capacity, such as a teacher, health visitor, social worker or minister of religion.
