Hi,

Looking for some advice here please. I have been in the UK since spring of 2011 with my wife and Kid1 who was born abroad and moved to the UK towards the end of 2011. I got my ILR in 2021 and planning to apply for Naturalisation or British citizenship soon. My wife and Kid 1 has applied for ILR under SET LR and pending decision.

Qn - Would Kid1 have to apply for Naturalisation or registration using MN1 once they receive ILR and i get British passport?

Children under 18 are registered as British in MN1

Only adults are naturalised

Has to be registered before applying for British Passport.
