Does the child have ILR? A child born abroad is required to have ILR before they can apply for citizenship.Child current age - 9
Children born outside UK and both the parents did not have ILR or citizenship during child's birth
One parent is a British citizen by naturalisation now.
One parent is on ILR.
There is no such requirement for children.All residential requirements are met (Have been in the UK continuously for 5 years and have not been outside of the UK more than 90 days continuously in any year)
Does the child hold ILR?Need to apply for british citizenship and get the british passport ready for my son.
There is only ONE route, an application on form MN1 under section 3(1), which at discretion. The child needs ILR first.Can you please help with the best route for my child to gain a citizenship / passport please ?
Children under 18 are REGISTERED as British on form MN1 and this applies to children born abroad and children born in the UK prior to parents obtaining ILR. The length of time a child born abroad holds ILR is completely irrelevant. The child needs to be registered as British before they can apply for a British passport.Is naturalisation for child possible leading to british citizenship / passport ? If yes, then What is the differnce between -
Citizenship via Naturailsation for a child (as the child is on ILR for quiet some time now)
vs
Citizenship via MN1 for a child ?
This is completed irrelevant to the application. Note that we do NOT have access to the form so unclear what the questions are you are referring to.Clarifications -
In 1.1 under Section 1, I believe I write in full as - Section 3(1)
(Child born outside UK and is on ILR. Both parents did not have ILR at the time of child's birth. Child has been on ILR since 2018. One parent holds British passport now and another parent on ILR)
ILR BRP card. It does also state applications, plural. It is also an 'if known' about reference numbers.1.2 State any reference numbers used in your immigration applications:
What reference number should I give here ?
Are you sure you are completing the correct form, MN1? If yes, children over a certain age, 10 or 11 I think, are subject to the good character requirements.Section 4 - Good Character Requirement
Applicant is 9 years old. So I believe this section 4 is not applicable and can be skipped.
What is the actual question and the question before this one? The option for a child born abroad is 'Other - at discretion', the only option you can use to apply for the child. You being British is completely irrelevant for this application.For 3.1, what should I select for the below one? There are only 2 options to select. We both parents are not a british citizen by descent. Not sure what to select here.
Section 3 - Parents’ residence in the UK or the British overseas territories, where applicable
3.1 State which parent is the one who is a British citizen by descent and on whom this application is based
Mother
Father

We just have to scan the documents and upload on the "UK Visa and Citizenship Application Services" website right ? Correct
Should I send any original documents physical to them (including applicant's passport) right ?
No you upload scans.
Please let me know.
