Citizenship for Child

Hi,

My daughter was born in India in 2014 and at that time I was in Tier 2 ICT

I got my british passport through Naturalisation in 2016 and my wife got her ILR in Jan 2021. Now I am applying for my daughters citizenship. Could you please advise if I need to register my daughters for citizenship through MN1 ?

Also I believe naturalisation is only for 18+ and not for kids. Please confirm

Thanks

No she is Tier 2 dependent.

She needs ilr first as she was born abroad. She has no entitlement to register as British if born abroad.

As one parent is a British citizen and the other parent is on ILR, the child can apply directly for ILE (if abroad)/ILR (if in the UK).

She can then apply to register as a British citizen immediately after she has been granted ILR.
