Thanks for that, so is child automatically British or do parents have to apply via MN1?Amber wrote:If the adopters are British, then the child may acquire British Citizenship by virtue of Section 1(5) of the British Nationality Act 1981 if the conditions detailed are met.
See also, chapter 3 - https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... apter3.pdf
So as earlier suggested it has to be MN1 registration, although this one is entitlement.Adoptions by British citizens in designated countries do not automatically convey British citizenship on the adopted child. However the adopter canapply for British citizenship for the child at the Nationality Group, United Kingdom Border Agency (UKBA), PO Box 306. Liverpool, L2 0QN (0845 010 5200, http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk).
For passport purposes, this means that a full adoption certificate issued in the UK, on or after 1 June 2003, will not necessarily be proof of a UK adoption. The full adoption certificate will clearly show where the adoption took place, this may be
• an adoption in a UK court
• an adoption overseas recognised by UK law.
Mauser please refrain from plucking your advice out of Google as in such case where the above does not apply, registration would be under 3(1) which is at the discretion of the SoS not an entitlement.Home Office wrote:If your child’s final adoption order is certified as having been made in accordance with the terms of the Hague Convention on inter-country adoption and at least one of the adoptive parents was a British citizen at the time the adoption order was made and the adopting parent (or in the case of a joint adoption, both adopting parents), was (were) habitually resident in the UK at the time of the final adoption order, then the child will automatically become a British citizen.
So its Form MN1 then, thanks for information.Amber wrote: Mauser please refrain from plucking your advice out of Google as in such case where the above does not apply, registration would be under 3(1) which is at the discretion of the SoS not an entitlement.
The link I pulled out from gov.uk is still valid on their website; however looks like it has not been amended to reflect the changes as per OP and the link you posted. My apologies if this has caused any confusion to the OP or information seeker. However thanks for the latest link. It sure has helped me.Amber wrote:Mauser please refrain from plucking your advice out of Google as in such case where the above does not apply, registration would be under 3(1) which is at the discretion of the SoS not an entitlement.Home Office wrote:If your child’s final adoption order is certified as having been made in accordance with the terms of the Hague Convention on inter-country adoption and at least one of the adoptive parents was a British citizen at the time the adoption order was made and the adopting parent (or in the case of a joint adoption, both adopting parents), was (were) habitually resident in the UK at the time of the final adoption order, then the child will automatically become a British citizen.
