You will add another applicant, declare they are under 18, and the online form will adjust to become the MN1 form automatically.

Also if Can i write Friends for the both Refree where it says how do you know the applicant ?

In the documents sections its asking for

Proof of parental responsibility for child application for both parents. what should be that please please ?

then listed this A letter of consent from child parent(s) or legal guardian(s) ? what this means please

Proof of living in the UK for 5 years if applying in your own right or 3 years if applying as the spouse of a British Citizen ...If you are a Non-EEA National, you need to include your passport to prove you have lived in the UK for the relevant 3- or 5-year period.Question is , Should i scan the all the pages of old and current passport even though my wife have never been out of the country during the last 5 years ?

Thx, But is there any reference document where it says that we have to scan all the pages of the passport including the blank

[contorted_svy]

It is free to scan all pages, what difference does it make to you to scan all of them? The way I see it, better spend 5 more minutes in front of the scanner and avoid the risk to forget a stamp. Better safe than sorry.

So Pre-COVID, you had to submit your passport. Your passport stays with the HO during the entirety of the visa application. All that changed around COVID.
The HO still needs your passport in a digital form. The closest thing to having your passport is a copy of all the pages.
I can't remember now, but the document check list also states that clearly.

Thanks Everyone for your input..

I have just scanned all the pages of both passports (Old and current) in pdf...TBH , Its was quite easy with Camscanner.
