Hi everyone!

Just want to ask regarding my son’s MN1 application.

upon reading through the form, it is asking for a referee, is it applicable to all ages even below 2 years old? If yes, who are the ones eligible that we can ask to become his referee?

Thank you all for your help!

All applicants need two referees. One professional (on the ukvi list) of any nationality and one British citizen who is over 25.

MN1 application

Good day everyone!

I hope someone can help me with my queries.

I have just been granted ILR and I am about to apply my son using MN1. I just want to ask regarding the following.

1. My son was born in the UK on July 2019 and I have been granted ILR February 2021. I’m I correct that he can apply using MN1 for to register as British Citizen?

2. Regarding the referee, I have tried contacting the health visitor and GP but unfortunately they are not able to provide us with their details as they have not really been in contact with us especially during this COVID. I am correct that we can use adult referee in this case?

3. Both our referees are British Citizen who are over 25 years old and a Nurse in profession. Is this okay?

4. Also, does my son need to do Biometrics still?

Many thanks!!

1) Yes.

2) But why do you need that when you have a Nurse? A Nurse if professionally engaged with the child can be used. Even if not professionally engaged with the child, add a cover letter and explain that you contacted GP/health visitor but they refused, you will be OK to provide as per adult criteria then. HO is not strict with young kid’s referees. Corona situation makes it even more understandable.

3) Yes.

4) Yes. Photo only.

The nurse we are using as a referee is a colleague of mine and a family friend so haven’t really dealt with my son in a professional way.

I will attach a cover letter regarding this.

Many thanks for your help!

Hi everyone!

I am about to upload the documents required for my son’s application to register as BC. I have accomplished the parent’s consent form provided, do I still need to provide another consent letter or that should be enough?


Thank you!
