I have a question about this section of the guide of the form MN1 , I will be applying next month for british citizenship along with my kid 14 born overseas in here says that normally it would be granted if both parents hold british citizenship or one settled and the other with british citizenship already .

My question is this is new or it has been always like this ?would I have any problem with my kid application if I'm the one applying for it ( I'm married to a BC)

Children born abroad to parents who are applying for British citizenship

Where one or both parents are applying for British citizenship they may apply for one or

more children who are not automatically British at birth (see “Automatic acquisition of British

citizenship” above) to be registered as British citizens as part of a “family application”.

Children in this category will be considered at the Home Secretary’s discretion and will

usually be registered only if both the parents are granted or already hold British citizenship,

or if one parent holds British citizenship and the other is settled in the UK.

Thanks Victoria !



I filled already most of the form but leaved this question as it is not clear to me please if someone can help :

"Please Indicate the section of the british Nationality act 1981 under wich you would like the application considered  see chapter 2 for details "

I'm reading the chapter two, it is not clear to me under what section falls "Children born abroad to parents who are applying for british citizenship  it is 3(1) ?

Many thanks,

Marian

Hello everybody I know I asked already this question but I didn't got any answers and I'm worried about this:

I'm applying for BC and I will include an application to register my kid as BC,the biological father of my kid lives in South America .

( I'm married to a BC)  I'm the only parent applying for BC would I have any problem with the application of my kid for this reason  ?

Sorry Vinny I didn't explain myself correctly I'm worried about this  :
