As my children were born abroad to a parent who now has UKC by descent and we have now lived in the UK for three years, I am hoping to register the children as citizens using form MN1 section 3(5). I have looked through this form for this topic, but still have a couple questions before I get started:
- The guidance states that the parent with citizenship by descent must have at it at the time of the children's birth...DH didn't apply for it until after the kids were born. I believe he was eligible for it when the kids were born, we just didn't know it existed. Can the kids still use this path to citizenship?
- If I use the Nationality Checking Service, I can apply for passports at the same time, right?
- Is the wait about the same for 3(5) as the other methods of registering children?
- What evidence do we include to show "that the child and both parents have lived in the UK for 3 years immediately before the date of application." I don't see an example. Do we need to send school enrolment/mail/passports/letter from our landlord?
