So it appears all those conditions will be met, as soon as either (or both) the child's parents has their ILR.8.1.1.1 Minors are entitled to registration under s.1(3) of the British Nationality Act 1981 if:
- they were born in the United Kingdom on or after 1 January 1983; and
- they were not British citizens at birth because at the time neither parent was a British citizen or settled here; and
- while they are minors, either parent becomes a British citizen or becomes settled in the United Kingdom; and
- they are minors on the date of application; and
- (in the case of a person aged 10 or over on the date of application, this being a date on or after 4 December 2006) the Secretary of State is satisfied that they are of good character (see Chapter 9, Annex B)
Do the child need to have passport for registering using MN1?minny wrote:Just an update
Spoke to NCS who in turn spoke to home office...
For those of you who are still not sure, it is not necessary to have ILR stamp in the childs passport if they are born in the UK and if parents have ILR. They can be registered directly using MN1
