After the child turns 16, they would have a better chance of success for registration as a British citizen.

(Page 29)
It will rarely be right to register a child neither of whose parents is or is about to become a British citizen. However, each case must be considered on its individual merits and there may be exceptional circumstances to justify registration in a particular case such as:

• older children (16 and above) who have spent most of their life in the UK or children who require citizenship to follow a particular career such as in the Armed Forces
• the child’s future clearly lies in the UK
• the person making the application has day-to-day responsibility for the child’s upbringing and is, or is about to become, a British citizen

Any section 3(1) application where we are proposing to refuse an older teenager who has spent most of their life in the UK (at least 10 years) must be signed off by DCCW. This applies in all cases, including where neither of the child’s parents is a British citizen or settled in the UK. An older teenager should be considered to be at least 16 years old at the date of consideration.
