British citizenship for under 16

[Abdurrazzaq33]

Hi,

I would really appreciate if anyone can respond!
I’m British and Uk passport holder
My daughter was born outside Uk and I didn’t have IlR then.
My understanding is she need to apply for naturalisation first.
I have applied onion and just about to submit.

I need to know what next? Do I need to create UKvcas account and book for service centre appointment for documents check and Bio metric ?

One more question ! Require documents list , they are asking my daughter grand parents marriage certificate which I don’t have …

Please comments asap,

Many thnx

You are applying on online form MN1?
Does your child have ILR now?
Children apply for registration as British citizen - naturalisation is for adults.
Grandparents' marriage certificate not required - under what section are you applying?

[Abdurrazzaq33]

She has ILR and she is just 12 years.
Yes MN1 form online …
I didn’t have ILR at time of her birth
I think, I need to select appropriate option at.

Standard processing times are 6 months, but it could take longer if you are applying outside the UK.
