Hi,

I am thinking of applying for the British citizenship for my son as well along with my husband. I am not sure on which basis to do it.

I am an EEA national, I have registered and obtained residence documentation (UK residence documentation for a national of an EEA state) in 2007 and had my son a year after in 2008.

Do I need to apply for british citizenship for my son and under which section do I need to do?

Many Thanks for your help

Yes. Section 1(3).

If you were a permanent resident when the child was born he is automatically a British Citizen.
You don't need to apply for British Citizenship. Go for passport directly.

If he was born before you acquired permanent residency, you would have had to apply through section 1.3.

Hi,
I have registered and obtained residence documentation (UK residence documentation for a national of an EEA state) in 2007 and the child was born in 2008.

At the moment my husband is applying for the naturalization.

Do I need to apply for my child as well?

What does it say on your residence card?
If it says: "Permanent Residence" then you can apply for a passport for the child as they are automatically British.

If it says something else, like "No restrictions of employment in the UK" for example, that is not a permanent residency card, and you would have to apply for citizenship via MN1 providing you now meet the requirements.
