Child naturalisation

Post by kiss300 » Fri Oct 30, 2020 10:10 am

Hi,

I am applying for naturalization for my 5yr old son born here in the UK.

I have just had my indefinite leave. I am Ghanaian and I have a ghana passport and got one for him too.

Can I apply naturalisation for him? And what form or online link can I use.

Will need ur help

Yes, nurse can be used if nurse has engaged with the child in a professional capacity.

For child applicants at least one of the referees must be a person who has dealt with the child in a professional role such as a teacher, doctor, health visitor or social worker. Where a child cannot provide a referee who has dealt with them in a professional capacity and has provided documents to show that they have attempted to do so, you can accept 2 referees who meet the criteria for referees on adult applications.

Hi

I got my SET approval on the 29/10/2020. When can I apply for my naturalisation?

Is it from the date I got the indefinite or the date I became eligible for indefinite?

Thank you

12 months from approval date/date of issue of BRP if not married to a BC.
Please do not confuse the thread with your own questions. Make a new thread for your own naturalisation.

Welcome and no need to be sorry. It just helps for members answering as otherwise gets confusing as to who the question applies - as the main topic says “child naturalisation.” Thank you.

You should receive the approval via email/post also. But some have reported receiving no approval but the certificate directly.
