Registration of a child under 18 as a British citizen

Post by outrageous » Thu Nov 19, 2020 5:54 pm

Hi, I recently got the ILR and following was the question I came across in the form:

Are you relying on your parent's permanent residence (either as an EEA National or the family member of an EEA National) as evidence of their settled status in the United Kingdom?
(Required)

Yes


No

Should I tick Yes or No as I am a national of an Asian country. Thank you.

Could you please tell me what would be best to mention for the following question:

How does the referee know the applicant?

It is not a trick question :shock:

You need to mention one-two words i.e. friend, neighbour etc

One of the two referees should have professional standing. Is it necessary or both can be friends?

Requirement is that one referee has professional standing, though both can be professional.
Referees can be friend with you and/or each other no issue.

One referee is expected to be someone who has professionally engaged with the child i.e. teacher, minister of religion, health visitor etc.

If it's a teacher then the address of the school can be mentioned or has to be the address of the teacher?

If you fail also read:
https://assets.publishing.service.gov.u ... 1.0EXT.pdf

For child applicants at least one of the referees must be a person who has dealt with the child in a professional role such as a teacher, doctor, health visitor or social worker. Where a child cannot provide a referee who has dealt with them in a professional capacity and has provided documents to show that they have attempted to do so, you can accept 2 referees who meet the criteria for referees on adult applications.

Following is a question I came across:

Do you have a travel document?

A travel document is a certificate issued by a governing body (in the UK or abroad) which acts as a temporary form of identification and allows you to travel internationally without a passport


What document are they talking about. Do they mean previous expired BRP card which I still got of my child as I just applied for my ILR and not my child because I knew I could apply for their nationality directly after I get my ILR.

Travel documents are issued to refugees or stateless people in lieu of passports, to enable them to travel.

There is a document required for 'Proof of parental responsibility for the child'.

Would the birth certificate of the child meet the requirements of the document considering if the father and mother are taking care of the child and not any other person that is guardian.
