MN1 Documents for child residence (2 or 5 years)
Posted: Thu Apr 06, 2023 1:20 pm
In MN1 guide, they explain some cases for registering children as BC.
One is the below (in line), which is applicable to my case (applied AN, email confirmed successful case, no ceremony yet) and both children having EU settled status. The other parent is also EU settled.
It requires children to have residence for 2 years. What documents do we provide for that?
Do we ask council for school attendance? I am not sure if they give something.
Any other document that has been shared or they just check their trips in that period?
For adults it may be easier with P60, payslips, council tax etc.
Children applying in line with parents
Children will come within this category if:
• one parent is a British citizen or about to become one through registration or
naturalisation
• the other parent (if involved in the child’s life) is a British citizen or settled in the
UK (“settled” usually means that the parent has indefinite leave to remain in the
UK)
• the child has been resident in the UK for the last 2 years - (if the child is under
the age of 2 we can accept a shorter residence period, taking into account the
age of the child)
• the child is settled in the UK
• both parents give their consent to registration (unless good reasons are
provided)
• there is no reason to refuse on character grounds.
