Hello

Please help me on the list of documents that I need to submit with my daughter’s MN1 application-

 Proof of Mr xxx (father) parental responsibility for Ms yyy.--?? (Is it a birth certificate of my daughter)

 Proof of Mrs mmmm (mother) parental responsibility for Ms xxx.--?? (Is it a birth certificate of my daughter)


 If Ms xxx told us that their parent is settled in the UK then you must provide us evidence of their settled status. This could include a BRP, a letter from the Home Office, an endorsement in their passport or another document certifying permanent residence.

-- Do I need to submit BRP and letter both and also a copy of my passport?
-- Do I need to submit BRP and passport of my wife as well currently she is on Tier-2 visa?

 A letter of consent from Ms xxx's parent(s) or legal guardian(s) The letter must: give their full names and addresses say that they agree to let you apply for a British citizenship If you have more than one parent or legal guardian, they must both sign the letter and confirm that they agree to what it says. If you only have one parent or legal guardian they must explain why the other parent is unable to consent e.g. whereabouts unknown, no contact since MM/YYYY.

-- In consent letter, there is a section for father and mother which does not have any space for the address, after filling this we don’t have to fill the guardian one. Shall we put address separately or just sign it.

 Two referee declarations for Ms xxx.

-- My first referee is BC with age more than 25, my second one (also BC) knows my daughter for about more than a year as a professional referee, is that OK?

 If Ms xxx has a passport then provide this with your application. If Ms xxx does not have a passport then you must provide another officially-issued identity document. This could include an official travel document or national identity card.

—will submit her passport

 Ms xxx's birth certificate (showing details of both parents).

- Will submit a birth certificate

 Ms xxx's current biometric residence permit (BRP).

- Will submit current BRP

 If Ms xxx told us that their parent is a British citizen then you must provide us evidence of their citizenship. This could include their British passport, a certificate of citizenship or their birth certificate.

-- not applicable

 Do I need to submit other documents such as my wife’s passport, BRP, my salary slip, bank statements, address proof related documents for my daughter? or I'm missing anything

Looking forward to hearing from you,
Thanks!

Submit a passport copy and BRP copy of the mother as children usually go by the mother

 A letter of consent from Ms xxx's parent(s) or legal guardian(s) The letter must: give their full names and addresses say that they agree to let you apply for a British citizenship If you have more than one parent or legal guardian, they must both sign the letter and confirm that they agree to what it says. If you only have one parent or legal guardian they must explain why the other parent is unable to consent e.g. whereabouts unknown, no contact since MM/YYYY.
Just draft a simple letter of consent and both mother and father sign. Add the contact details there

-- In consent letter, there is a section for father and mother which does not have any space for the address, after filling this we don’t have to fill the guardian one. Shall we put address separately or just sign it.

No. Just the mother passport and BRP for ID purpose
Also, your passport and BRP

Thanks!

1) Sharing address, mobile phone, email? Say yes to both father and mother.

2) “Someone else” as you are acting on behalf of the child.

3) Representative would be correct because the child can not act for him/herself so “I am the applicant” will not be correct. I did the same for my daughter had no issues. Her MN1 was approved in 28 days.

I would suggest you to add a cover letter also mentioning that both parents consent to make MN1 application for your child. Sign, date and mention contact details.

It doesn't mean other agents/representative or it can be father, as I'm filling this for my daughter.

Hi

Regarding declaration, I'm having a doubt, as in the following link moderator suggests to tick I'm applicant for a 3-year-old. Please see below-

I request you to please help me with this, which one I should tick? as in my case my daughter's age is between 3 and 4 years.

Thanks!

Sorry, the other thread (please see below) says the second option (as you mentioned in your earlier post).

british-citizenship/questions-on-mn1-form-t283336.html

I guess (3-4) year old can't act as an applicant, it has to be parents (which in this context are representative of the applicant), correct?

I will appreciate it if anyone else has a child of similar age group and filled the MN1 form, could also help me on this!

Thanks again for your help!!

Hi
I have some more queries-

--Provide your postal address- xxx

Is this where you live? Yes

When did you start living at this address? yyy

Have you lived at your current address for 5 years? No

Now it asks for previous address-

--Previous address

Enter a previous address in the last 5 years, starting with the most recent. You will be able to add additional addresses after you click 'Save and continue'.

Date you lived there from

Date you lived there to

Previous address

Please suggest do I need to enter here my current postal address again or have to enter the address before living to the current address?

Thanks!

What more confirmation you need? You have been advised and have the relevant threads. Decision is yours now. You are overthinking this.

Your child is 3/4 so you really cant give 5 years address. Just tick “Yes” to 5 years living at address question. HO knows how old your child is.
