Resident Req. for Kids

[vgvirgo]

Hi All,

I will be applying for citizenship next year; I have few queries regarding that.
1) Is there any residence req. in terms of years for Children (aged 4.5 yrs at time of application.)
2) Can I include my son’s application (on form MN1) also when we apply for Citizenship? If yes why they are asking question in Section 3 “3.1 Please say which parent is the one who is a British citizen by descent and on whom this application is based.â€

Are the children born in the UK?

NO

Assuming that your spouse currently holds ILR / will be granted ILR before you apply for naturalisation, you may apply for registration of child/children as British citizen(s) under section 3(1) at the same time as your naturalisation application.

If one or both of the child's parents are applying for British citizenship we may, if we believe it is reasonable under the circumstances, register the child under section 3(1) of the British Nationality Act 1981. We will normally only register the child if:
- both parents are granted or already hold British citizenship; or
- if one parent holds British citizenship and the other is settled in the United Kingdom.

No residency requirements for child under 13 at the time of registration application.

With Ref to earlier post, finally what I need to write in this question? as mother and father are applying for British Citizenship
