Can I take british passport for my Kids?

[Kartt_in]

Hello All,

I am bit confused with various discussions, thought I can ask the experts in this forum.

I got my British passport a year before. My wife and kids are still in ILR dependant status as they got their visa when my Visa status was ILR.

My wife and kids came to UK in June 2013 (nearly 2 yrs now).

Can I apply for my kids (3 yr and 5 yr old) passport directly, without going for ILR?

Kind Regards

Only British citizens can apply for British passports. Your children are not currently British, so the answer is no. The need to (qualify and) apply for ILR first, and then for Registration as British Citizens when eligible.
