Euss/british citizenship of a baby born in the Uk with pre-settled father and non eu mother

Hi everyone,i would really appreciate some advices as i have been searching online for hours with no definite answers.

My child was born in March 2021 to an EU pre-settled father and non eu/british mother.father is meant to be settled in December 2021.he did not link the child on his EU scheme because he didn t know and wanted to register the child when he will be settled in December given the child was born in the Uk and according to section1(3) is entitled to register as a british citizen when 1 parent becomes settled.the child doesn t have an ID as it is very complicated to get her dad's citizenship because she was born out of wedlock.

1)will she still be entitled to register as a british citizen even though she was not linked with her dad's euss?she doesn t have any immigration status right now.

2) is it possible to do a late EUSS for her as we didn t know she had to be linked?

3) if the answer is yes for question 2,as she doesn t have any ID,can we use UK birth certificate as an iD?

Many thanks

Child does not need to be linked to get registration. He or she can be registered regardless.

Child could obtain mother's citizenship and apply for pre-settlement if you want to.

Thanks Obie for the answer.
Mother is an overstayer.the father will be the one to register the child

Will there be a problem for the father to register his child?
he will be the one to be settled and we are not married nor in a relationship anymore

Address for MN1

Hi everyone.

Please can i get some answers about this.

My child's father would be registering our baby as soon as he get settled status under the Eu scheme in December,i am the mother and i don t have any immigration status as i overstayed my visa.
the baby was born in the Uk in March 2021 but lives with me.the father and i are no more in a relationship and live in different addresses.

My questions are
Would the father be able to register the child as a british citizen even though he doesn't live with the child?
Would he,having a different address from the child be an issue?

Would my illegal status be a problem to register the child?note that the father would be the one with the settled status.

Many thanks

There is no requirement that the parent registering the child and the child live at the same address. Presumably the father is listed on the birth certificate?

Your status is irrelevant to the child's entitlement to register as British.

Thanks for the answer.

Yes the father is mentioned on the birth certificate.

Can he use my address to apply as the child lives with me? He might not get the certificate at his address as he lives in a share house and sometimes doesn t find his letters.

He needs to out the address in the form of where the child lives. The child is the applicant, not the father
