Hi guys,
Im looking for some advice desperately.
Im now eligible to apply for British Naturalisation, however Im worried it might get refused for the following situation.
Im a Malawian national married to british citizen, actually born in London,uk, however my passport has got place of birth as Lilongwe(capital of Malawi) and my dob on passport is 09/06/92 but my uk birth certificate has got 08/06/92 born at 11.15pm.
The error happened due my fathers mistake when I was minor, my uk birth certificate does say mothers usual place of residence as Lilongwe,malawi
Anyways, my tax records, uk driving license and credit card companies have all got my correct DOB as we used Uk birth cerfticate.
my question is if we apply for naturalisation, when Home office do their checks, will the slight discrepancy in DOB show up??
Ive already contacted Malawian embassy in uk to rectify the mistake, unfortunately they responded by saying as the mistake was done in Malawi, it can only get rectified over there and they cant help us from here.
Im really stressed out and don't know whether I should apply or refrain.
should I apply using my correct DOB and explain the mix up in recording of my dob and place of birth in my Malawian passport.
my parents who are also Malawian nationals are on limited leave to remain, so im applying on my merit, and the mistake as not been material to grant of any leave.Its a genuine mistake by my father when I was a minor.
Please please anyone can advice I would appreciate it.
thanks all in advance.
