British Citizenship: Child under 18 with ILR status past 12 months

Post by mrnaidu2 » Thu Nov 09, 2023 12:36 pm

Dear Gurus,

I am in the process of applying for citizenship for my child aged 15, born out of the UK holding ILR status for the past 2 years. The father is BC and the mother has been ILR for the past 2 years.
Now my question we thinking of applying British citizen child alone
Q1: Do we need to use MN1 or AN form to apply?
Q2: Based on MN1 guidance section 3.1 thinking about applying for registering British citizenship without going through naturalization, is this correct? https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ... n-form-mn1

Please help me in answering if we are going through the correct route, happy to add more details of the context is not enough.
Thanks

You use MN1.

Registration is basically naturalization, but for minors.
Not a qualified immigration adviser. Use links and references given to gain confirmation and/or extra information.
