The requirement is 12 months holding ILR/PR. It doesn't matter that this year is a leap year.

With regards to your passport, you should be OK. The HO can verify the travel dates if they wish. Do you have copies of all pages of the passport? You might be required to provide some other evidence of your stay in the UK.

Hi Jambo

I have son who was born in India and has ILR on 24/8/2011 and can i apply for Registration MN1 on 24/8/2012.

Does the other parent also have ILR? The HO would expect the other parent to hold ILR in your son's case.

You should be able to apply for registration for your child when you apply for naturalisation. See more in the last paragraph of Q1 in FAQ - Most common questions - Children.

Yes. NCS will probably charge extra for going through another application in the appointment.

Hi Jambo

Thank you for your reply.So I can apply for my son as well on 24/8/12 through NCS and I am happy to pay extra for his appt.

Yes. I'm assuming he is less than 13 years old and has been living in the UK for a while (there was a recent forum member that his sons application got rejected as they have not been living in the UK for long. Although there isn't a specific residence requirement, this type of application is at discretion of the HO so it depends on how they evaluate your son's case).
