You son is not stateless. He has the same nationality as parents. He just does not have passport.While going though the form I came across the term 'stateless'. He doesn't have any passport right know, as we suspected once either of us get ILR we can register him for citizenship.
Yes. Once any of the parent is granted ILRAre we correct in suspecting that he can register as citizen and apply for british passport?
It will be MN1 process if child is born before you receive or are granted ILR.aarnags wrote:Hi,

That is very helpful. Will we require any document to prove his nationality same as ours? and on a different note is there any time period that we can apply under MN1 i.e it doesn't matter how old is the child, once either parents get ILR the child can apply for reg.?UKBALoveStory wrote:You son is not stateless.

Once again thank you very much for the help. I will keep things posted as and when they happen.CR001 wrote:No need to for his nationality documents as he will be born in the UK. You can apply any time after you or your wife is granted ILR as long as the child is under 18 years of age.
You will apply for MN1 first, which is the Certificate of Registration as a British Citizen and then make a separate application for a passport. https://www.gov.uk/get-a-child-passport
MN1 application is only by post and passport application can be either by post or using Check and Send at the Post Office.
Passport applications can be done using the fast track service and takes 3-5 days.
MN1 can take a couple of weeks to a couple of months.

UK born children
In the child was born in the UK before one parent had ILR/PR, then once one parent is granted ILR, the child is entitled register as BC under section 1(3) of the British Nationality Act irrespective of their immigration status.
This application is an entitlement and as such the HO has no discretion in the decision if the statutory requirements are met. The application can be made any time before the child is 18. The only documents required are UK birth certificate and evidence that parent obtained ILR/PR. The application can be made if the child is in the UK or abroad.
http://www.immigrationboards.com/britis ... 95747.htmlQ2: Which documents are needed for registration as BC?
If applying under section 1(3) (child born in the UK to parents who now at least one parent holds ILR), the following documents are required:
- Original full UK birth certificate for the child (with the ILR parent named on it).
- Original child passport (if has one).
- Parent's passport showing ILR / BRP. (photocopies of all pages are accepted)
- Marriage certificate (if child born before 2006).
