Naturalisation for my Filipino daughter.

Hello,

I am a dual national. I was born in the Republic of Ireland and naturalised as a British citizen.

My wife and daughter joined me in the UK from the Philippines through the EU settlement scheme. Me wife has pre settled status, and my daughter (2yo) has settled status/indefinite leave to remain. My wife has to wait 5 years before she gets settled status before she can apply to be naturalised.

My question is since my daughter already has settled status can she apply to naturalise as a British citizen? How can I get her a British passport?

I appreciate any input and advice.

Thank you,

Leon

when did you naturalise, before or after your daughter was born?
Was your daughter born abroad?
Is she an Irish national?

BTW children don' naturalise but they can be registered as British if the conditions are met
