Hi! sorry I wasn't clear.Lucapooka wrote:Which parent will have PR at the time of the birth? That much is not clear from your post?
I doesnt matter which of the parent has PR, as long as one of them has PR - which is the case - before the child is born then the child is automatically a UK citizen. Am assuming the child will be born in the UK.knitter wrote:Hi! sorry I wasn't clear.Lucapooka wrote:Which parent will have PR at the time of the birth? That much is not clear from your post?
the father has had his permanent residence certificate issued on 9/4/2013.
(I guess that means he has PR status?)
By the way, as a EEA form Italy he doesn't need ILR.
thanks for your kind help

thanks for the clarity.
Yes the child will be born in the UK.
One last question: does the PR holder have to wait 1 year after the issue of the PR certificate in order to be able to register the child as citizen?
(The child will be born in March 2014 and the certificate was issued in April 2013.)
thanks
Yes you dont need to register the child as the child is already Britishknitter wrote:Thanks!
So the one year rule doesn't apply. That's great.
And the citizenship is automatic....
Do you mean I won't need to register the child as British citizen?
What if he needs a passport?
wonderful! Sorry I wasn't being thick but coming from a thoroughly burocratic country (Italy) I always assume the worst!lake1 wrote:knitter wrote:Thanks!

What does a UK citizen do when they need a passport for the first time? they simply apply for it.
They will ask for the proof that either PR has PR when the child was born so you simply send the PR confirmation with the application.
No worries, am as bad with asking questions too hence why I was more than happy to help and kept replying.knitter wrote:lake1 wrote:wonderful! Sorry I wasn't being thick but coming from a thoroughly burocratic country (Italy) I always assume the worst!knitter wrote:Thanks!

Have a good day.
hanks!
by the way I just checked how to apply for a passport and it indeed looks like having been registered or not doesn't make a difference.
They ask, as you say, to send proof of the parent immigration status at the time of birth (the permanent residence certificate) an dhis/her passport.
Seems easy!
thanks a lot again

You do need to wait one year after PR in order to apply for Naturalisation as a British Citizen. If you got it in April 2013 then you can apply after 14th April 2014 but not before.....
Good luck.

I think you can apply before the one year if you don't use the residence certificate and you resend all of your documents again for perusal.
PS: For the baby, yes it's great I don't have to register him/her and also dave so much money
thanks for your help
Thanks for your reply. At this point I really don't know what to think. But I booked an appointment with the National Checking Service to have the application checked and hopefully they will have an answer.jotter wrote:Hi knitter,knitter wrote:Hi!polandcalling1 wrote:Knitter

Strictly speaking polandcalling1 is correct. You have to wait for 12 months after PR. Remember that the date you acquire PR is a different thing to the date when you get your PR sticker/card. You can apply less than 12 months after the date on your sticker/card, but not less than 12 months after you actually acquired PR (which was automatically after 5 years of treaty rights).
