Hi Gurus,

I am preparing an application for registration of a child under 18 as a British citizen and it would be great if you can answer my below queries. Thank you in advance.

My case - I am granted ILR in Feb 2021 and my son was born in 2019 in UK. My wife has PBS dependent visa valid till 2023.

1. I am using this link for my son's application. Is it correct? https://visas-immigration.service.gov.u ... 8f902b8708

2. My son's dependent visa expired in Dec 2020. I am granted ILR in Feb 2021. Will his expired visa create any issue in application?

3. Are there any specific requirements that referees should meet such as a member of professional body or similar?

4. Should I add a letters from his nursery teacher and GP?

1. It shows a sign in form, so no idea what form it is. You need form MN1.

2. No issue, however he is not entitled to free NHS services since his visa expired.

3. The professional referee needs to be in the UKVI approved list and for smaller children,be engaged with the child in a professional capacity.

4. You need to complete the referee form with the referee details. You do not submit a referee letter that they write.
