UK born

If the child was born in the UK before one parent had ILR/PR, then once one parent is granted ILR, the child is entitled register as BC under section 1(3) of the British Nationality Act irrespective of their immigration status.

This application is an entitlement and as such the HO has no discretion in the decision if the statutory requirements are met. The application can be made any time before the child is 18. The only documents required are UK birth certificate and evidence that parent obtained ILR/PR. The application can be made in the UK or abroad.

No problem, if child later becomes entitled to register for British citizenship and does register.

UK born Child. If child travel outside UK using dependent visa and come back, after then parent apply for ILR without child, would it be a issue for child to register for British citizenship?
