Thanks for your inputs.

I would check with other councils before applying. But do you think it might delay the application as paul commented.

Thanks for the input paul. But in the application it looks like a straight forward question to chose in another council. I live in Croydon and at the moment it is 6 weeks waiting list. Nearby bromley has 2 weeks. Just curious to know if anyone has done this before and approved in usual time. Regards

dear tvt,

bit confused here, if the child is born in UK and the parent gets ILR after the kid is born then should kid naturalize ?
Your response was no, does it mean that they dont have to fill form MN1 ?
where do they register the child at IND or passport office ?
