MN1 Form for Child Born in UK for ILR Parents

[hadoka]

Hello,

My Sun was born on the 2nd of Aug 2024; I did apply for ILR today (16th of Dec 2024) for a Priority submission.

I was trying to be proactive and prepare the MN1 Form; however, it's very confusing, and It's asking for 5 years of residency history for the child and also asking for the Child's passport! While I only have the Birth Certificate!

Any Guidance, pls?

Provide what you have - your address history for the last 5 years will do. Just explain that your son is just born. The form tries to capture many different cases but clearly those requests don't apply to you.

I'm doing the application as following :

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

Are either of the parents of the child (as stated in this application) applying for naturalisation as a British citizen on an AN form?
No
(As we applied for ILR on 16 of Dec 2024 and hopefully, it will granted)

Have you had settlement in the UK?
No

Now its asking for nationality? what should I put?

There is an Option Says Officially Stateless, but all others are countries!

Do you/wife have another nationality?

Hi,
I have a similar case and I would like to know what to put in the nationality field.
Currently the baby was born in UK and don't have any proof of nationality as we didn't plan to travel outside UK until we get for the baby the UK citizenship and passport.

The mother and father always had one nationality which is Egypt.

I'm not whether to put Stateless or Egyptian for the nationality field and the same for the field for "Explain why you are unable to provide a valid form of identification"

Hence when I read through all documentation provided by Gov.uk regarding registration for children born in the UK under section 1(3) there was no reference to the nationality of the applicant

[alterhase58]

Child is not stateless, nationality choose Egyptian, as parents, no issue. No need to prove this. Birth in the UK doesn’t mean child is officially stateless.

[contorted_svy]

Just provide parents' nationality and say you haven't got a passport for the child.

Thank you, everyone, for your participation in this. Regarding the Nationality and Residency question, are there any official references I can rely on or use?

[contorted_svy]

Guidance for nationality would be from Egypt, not the UK. regarding residence, this question is routinely asked and applicants answer it as suggesyed above, no issue.

Thank you very much. I have applied, and my fingers are crossed that everything goes well. Thanks.
