Received my PR few days ago, Should I apply for my kids too?

[omaral]

So here is my situation:-

I am Dutch and been living and working in UK since 2005.

My wife is non-EEA. Her naturalisation was refused few years ago and so was her PR application due to lack of evidence of me exercising treaty rights.

She currently hold a Residence Card valid until 2022(was issued in 2017)

I received my Permanent Residence card last week which I acquired on 06-April-2018

My question is:

Shall I apply now for my wife PR? and Should I apply for my three children too(they are all Dutch)
Note: My children were born in the UK

[vinny]

Yes. Your wife may apply for PR.
Children are entitled to register.

[omaral]

Yes. Your wife may apply for PR.
Children are entitled to register.

Thanks Vinny,

I was thinking of applying PR for my wife and include our three children in the application? Is this wise to do this way?

Child 1 born in 2010(London)
Child 2 born in 2013(London)
Child 3 born in 2016(Manchester)
I was granted the PR April-2018 which does mention any child born after this date is entitled to British Citizenship.

[CR001]

UK born children can apply for citizenship on form MN1, it is an entitlement to do so once either parent gets PR. They do not require PR themselves. Please do click on the links vinny has provided (entitled to register). Current cost is £1033 each.

A child born after you got PR is automatically British and can apply for a passport directly. Your 3 children must first be registered as British.

Thanks for your time and reply,

If I become British Citizen or my wife, would it be the same process for our children to become British? via registration or naturalisation? Is there a cheap option rather than the £1033?

Yes, same process. Children are register. Only adults are naturalised.

No there is not.
