No, as she was born out of UK, she can not be registered as British Citizenship.badbug27 wrote: Can we apply for her registration as British straight in India? I know chances are slim but thought would still check.
Thanks for your response, I also read the guidance which mentions the same. However, I got an interesting reply from the citizenship helpline. They said that registration of both my daughters is at the discretion of the home secretary and so we could apply for my child's British citizenship. I knew this was the case for my daughter with ILR but not for the newborn. However, I won't be doing it as I'm unsure about it. Also, the adviser said that it is possible to even apply for citizenship for my wife when she is in India, which was surprising. I then checked with the British High commission in India and they said that yes it is possible but they only act as a "post office" and send all the documents to UK. I'm not going for this option as it would just delay their stay in India and also complicate things but just thought I would share it if it would be useful for anyone else.xyz123 wrote:No, as she was born out of UK, she can not be registered as British Citizenship.badbug27 wrote: Can we apply for her registration as British straight in India?

Vinny, thanks. Actually I'd read that guidance which is quite useful. But can you/someone please let me know if there is a quicker way to process the settlement application, such as application in person?vinny wrote:See also British Citizenship for Children Born Overseas.
