[mohitp]

Hi All,
My child was born in UK in 2019 and i got my ILR last month in Aug 2023. Can I apply for british citizenship registration for my child?
I am using following application form please confirm if it is correct?
"TYPE OF VISA / APPLICATION: Apply for registration of a child under 18 as a British citizen
Choose which category to apply under. You are a child under 18 and: You were born in the UK. One or both your parents are settled in the UK"

Also i have following questions please advice:
Q1 - I am applying as an applicant since my kid is minor?
Q2 - Have you had settlement in the UK? No - selected No since he holds dependent visa. is this correct?
Q3 - Have you lived at your current address for 5 years? No - selected No since he was born in 2019, i have included the address details from his date of brith. Can you please suggest if this impact his application since it is less than 5 years? do we need to wait for 5 year completion?
Q4 - 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? No - selected No because this question was under heading of EEA parents permanent residence and i am non-EU resident. is this correct?
Q5 - documents list includes following.
doc1 - passport copy of applicant son - included
doc2 - proof of parental responsibility of father and mother both - will provide birth certificate
doc3 - If applicant told us that their parent is settled in the UK then you must provide us evidence of their settled status - copy of ILR brp of father only since both the parents i.e. his mother is not holding ILR. will this suffice the requirement?
doc4 - letter of censent from parents
doc5 - parents marriage certificate
doc6 - two referee declaration - do i need to provide the physical copy of signed declaration? or the information filled online will suffice the requirement.
doc7 - applicant birth certificate
doc8 - applicant BRP
doc9 - applicant passport
doc10 - If applicant told us that their parent is a British citizen then you must provide us evidence of their citizenship. This could include their British passport, a certificate of citizenship or their birth certificate - I am not sure why this document is requested in the list since both the parents are not british citizen and only father holds valid ILR. Is it beacuse i have not added passport details of one of british citizen referee (i am still collecting information from professional referee and one british citizen referee). I just wanted to fill the form in advance so that i can arrange all the required documentation on time. Can you please guide on this? will this option disappear when i will include the passport details of referee? or i need to provide any declaration stating we are not british citizen and only one parent holds ILR?

Thank you in advance for help.

Yep, that would be fine.

Sorry i forgot to add few more questions below.
Selecting "NO" for question "Are either of the parents of the child (as stated in this application) applying for naturalisation as a British citizen on an AN form?" is this correct.

Selected option "I do not have a National Insurance number" for question "What is your current National Insurance number?" is this correct.

Hi All/Moderators, Can you please help. The repsonse provided above is not clear therefore resending it below and i need help only on two questions.

doc10 - If applicant told us that their parent is a British citizen then you must provide us evidence of their citizenship. This could include their British passport, a certificate of citizenship or their birth certificate - we are not citizen so shall I provide any declaration specifying that we are not citizen and this application is based on ILR received by one of the parent?

doc3 - If applicant told us that their parent is settled in the UK then you must provide us evidence of their settled status - copy of ILR brp of father only since both the parents i.e. his mother is not holding ILR. will this suffice the requirement? Yep, that would be fine. If and when your husband becomes British, he needs to retain his ILR BRP, that's your son's claim to BC. You simply don't cut it and return it back. You store it somewhere safe. In this case i am not sure why should I retain a ILR BRP once i receive citizenship next year since on the home office acceptance email they clearly specify to cut & return BRP else 1000 GBP fine to be paid? or is this applicable only until citizenship is granted to my kid?

i am not getting an option to delete the duplicate comments posted (if its possible by moderator they can please delete the duplicate information).
