Hi,
I would really appreciate if anyone can respond!
I’m British and Uk passport holder
My daughter was born outside Uk and I didn’t have IlR then.
My understanding is she need to apply for naturalisation first.
I have applied onion and just about to submit.
I need to know what next? Do I need to create UKvcas account and book for service centre appointment for documents check and Bio metric ?
One more question ! Require documents list , they are asking my daughter grand parents marriage certificate which I don’t have …
Please comments asap,
Many thnx

You are applying on online form MN1?
Does your child have ILR now?
Children apply for registration as British citizen - naturalisation is for adults.
Grandparents' marriage certificate not required - under what section are you applying?

She has ILR and she is just 12 years.
Yes MN1 form online …
I didn’t have ILR at time of her birth

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

Standard processing times are 6 months, but it could take longer if you are applying outside the UK.
