What is your nationality?? Children usually take on their parents nationality. This is separate to holding a passport, which is just a travel document.spanchal2020 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 22, 2020 3:47 pmOk, I have started doing online form but got a question which I am not quite sure what to answer.
What should be considered as the current Nationality of our daughter as she was Born in UK. and currently do not hold any travel document or passport. We did not obtain one as we didn't intend to travel anywhere until she would get her citizenship.
And this is one of the problem with online form as if we don't answer this, it won't allow to move forward.
Simply state you don't have. It isn't a trick question!!spanchal2020 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 22, 2020 3:50 pmThen it asks for Passport, Travel document or valid national identity card. I selected No for all as our daughter has none of those, then it asks for a reason for not providing any of these. Not sure what to answer. May be N/A?
The take form is used for ALL children, regardless of where they were born. Apply state date of birth and London etc.spanchal2020 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 22, 2020 3:58 pmIt then also asks when did you first arrive in UK and where did you arrive (for ex. Heathrow airport)? I mean, she was born here so how one supposed to answer these questions? And without answering them, it doesn't allow to move forward.
Current nationality is the nationalities the child is entitled through the parents. The Nationality you hold as well as the father.spanchal2020 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 22, 2020 8:39 am**UPDATE**
Please ignore above as I have now managed to find that I should be filling the MN1 physical copy and should apply by post rather than online. This copy of MN1 has more relevant questions to the child which makes sense now.
However, it does ask for current Nationality, any idea what we should mention there? As Child only been registered in the UK and got only a birth certificate. No any other passport or anything. So what should be considered as child's current nationality? (Should I be even filling that information? As its mentioned in the form that only fill those part of the form which apply to this child's application and cross out all others)
Also can't really see what sort of documents we need to send along with this application?
Any help/suggestion will be highly appreciated!
That is not universally true. Many nationalities do not descend to generations born abroad without special actions. Indian and Australian nationality are not automatically acquired by those born abroad, and indeed British citizenships descend abroad no more than one generation automatically.WaitingPatty wrote: ↑Sat Feb 22, 2020 10:23 pmIt's illegal in international law to make a person stateless. Children automatically have their parents' nationality and you cannot renounce on their behalf (I. E Under 18). So their current nationality is what yours is
