Child born in UK - One parent with ILR

[aspirant910]

My spouse just got the ILR while my application is still in process ( Submitted) . I did not applied for ILR dependent for my children as they were born in UK. My son have a valid BRP ( skilled worker dependent) and my daughter do not have any documentation apart from UK Birth Certificate as she was born in 2023. I am planning to apply for Citizenship for my son and daughter as they both were born in UK.
1. I am filling up the form and can see I can add another applicant in single form ? is that correct or do i need to apply for both separately?
2. I have a daughter and she was born in UK last year. We do not have any identification document for her e.g passport or BRP. What shall we fill in the form for below question ?

Reason for not providing identification documents
Explain why you are unable to provide a valid form of identification.
Proof of identity is usually required to make a valid application. You cannot use a national identity card to prove your identity for this application.

I believe your kids will only be eligible once your ILR is approved, but other members will be able to advise more

Just explain she doesn't have a passport yet.

I think only one parent should have ILR for eligibility criteria.

below links says "You must apply separately for your children"
https://www.gov.uk/apply-citizenship-in ... r-children.
But the form gives option to add another sister or brother. Can someone please confirm ?

That's correct, only one parent needs to have ILR.

any advise on this ?

[aspirant910]

Where the applicant is a child applying, one referee should be a professional who
has engaged with the child in a professional capacity, such as a teacher, health
visitor, social worker or minister of religion.

I son school teacher has agreed to provide the document's however he was in school for only 2 year. Will that be sufficient? What documents she needs to be provide apart from the form ?

[CR001]

You only need the details in the form. There are no referee personal documents that you need to submit.

Please take the time to read the MN1 guidance notes!!

Thanks i had a look at the guidance and want to get more clarification on Referee's.
I got two referee for my son application. One is his school teacher who knows him since last 3 years but have managed him in a professional role for last 2 years as his school teacher. Will that be okay ?
2nd referee is a doctor friends who knows our family since last 5 years. hope that should be okay.
Can i use both same referee for my 9 month old daughter as well ?

If child has only been in school for 2 years that will be fine - referees are notoriously harder to get for children.

These two referees can be used fr other child as long as they both agree and know the child.

My son changed the school and in previous school he was there for 2 years as well . For 9 month baby i may not be able to find any professional person so will get some referee ( adult application). Not sure if i need to explain that in a letter with application

Not an issue for the 9month old, a short note suffices.
