Guidance on Registration as British citizen: children wrote: (Page 19)
Children born to a parent registered under section 4C, 4G, 4H, 4I of the British Nationality Act 1981
Section 4C of the British Nationality Act 1981 allows those born abroad before 1 January 1983 to British mothers to be registered as a British citizen. Sections 4G, 4H and 4I are registration provisions for those born before 1 July 2006 who would have become British automatically if their parents had been married. Any child born outside of the UK after the parent who is a British citizen otherwise than by descent will be a British citizen under section 2(1) .
You must normally register a child if:
• the child was born before the parent registered under one of the above sections
• the child would be a British citizen or have an entitlement to be registered under section 3(2) or 3(5)
• where necessary both parents consent to the registration or any objections by the non applying parent are ill founded
• there is no reason to refuse on character grounds
Thank you for your reply. I am a bit confused, as having read form MN1 it applies to children under the age of 18, and my wife’s daughter is 34......form AN does not seem to apply either for over 18’s as she has not lived in the UK since october 2015. Can you clarify please?secret.simon wrote: ↑Fri Jun 21, 2019 1:16 pmNot Romein itself, but the child can be registered as a British citizen using Form MN1 under Section 3(1).
Form UKM is registration under Section 4C of the British Nationality Act 1981.

No problem! She has two children, both born in the UK- 2011 and 2015.secret.simon wrote: ↑Fri Jun 21, 2019 5:10 pmI apologise. I did not read the age of the child in question.
If the child is over 18, then Form T is still an option.
To the best of my knowledge, Romein does not apply. It applies to people born before 1983 and who would have been British citizens if their mothers could pass on their British citizenship before 1983. It does not apply to their children born after 1983.
Does your wife's daughter have any children and where were they born?
