You will have to wait until one of the parents naturalise as British. After that, the child may be able to register as British by discretion under section 3(1). Once the child is registered you can then apply for the British passport.summer08 wrote:I am a mother of a child 11 years old born abroad, we recently got ILR and I would like to get a British passport for him only as soon as possible.

Unlikely, the caseworker would expect at least one parents to be naturalised or to submit an application for naturalisation at the same time.summer08 wrote:Thank you for your reply.D4109125 wrote:You will have to wait until one of the parents naturalise as British.

Is it possible( for individual circumstances ) that my child to be registered as a British citizen before one of the parents naturalise as British in order to get a British passport?
