Children don't need to wait 1 year but born abroad children will need to apply together with a parent.

Children don't need to wait 1 year but born abroad children will need to apply together with a parent.

i.e. overseas born children shouldn't apply for registration as British citizens until a parent applies for naturalisation as a British citizen, etc.
