Children citizenship questions - born outside UK
Posted: Tue Sep 12, 2023 2:32 pm
Hi, I have a similar question.
I received british citizenship (naturalisation) last year and now want to register my children. They are 14+16 yrs old, not born in the UK but live here for the past 9 years. My husband and children have EU settelement.
Which of the below should I select please?
Consideration under British Nationality Act
Choose which category to apply under. You are a child under 18 and:
(Required)
- Your parent is British by descent and lived in the UK or a British Overseas territory for at least 3 years before you were born
- Your parent is British by descent and you and your parents (unless they are legally separated) are now living in the UK or a British Overseas territory
- You were born on or after 13 January 2010 and your parent was serving in the UK armed forces
- You were adopted abroad by British citizen parents
- You were born before 1 July 2006 to a British father and your parents were not married
- One or both of your parents is applying for British citizenship
- Other - apply at the discretion of the Home Secretary
Also, under Personal Information it asks if parents are applying for naturalisation. Should I answer yes?
Are either of the parents of the child (as stated in this application) applying for naturalisation as a British citizen on an AN form?
- Yes
I would still like my child (as stated in this application) to be registered as a British citizen even if my own application for British citizenship is refused.
- Yes
Thanks.
