Born on or after 01/01/83 – Your ‘full’ birth certificate or adoption certificate that shows your parent’s details (the ‘short’ version which is issued for free by the registrar is not acceptable). – Not Applicable?

Sorry in the above she was born in UK after this date so I guess I need to her full birth certificate, if born abroad then registration certificate is enough, correct?
You still need her birth certificate as the paragraph below, which applies in your case, clearly states.
If you have naturalised or registered as a British citizen – your certificate of naturalisation or registration and the passport that you used to come into the UK and any foreign passport you hold or are included on. A ‘full’ birth/adoption certificate that shows parents details for applicants under 16 or a court order granting parental responsibility (if any are in place). Applicants 16 and over don’t normally need to give us their birth/adoption certificate.—Not Applicable?
THIS is the one relevant to her as she is applying to REGISTER as British!!

Sorry, I misinterpreted as parent’s naturalisation, it is related to child’s registration. So child registration after MN1 and her Full Birth Certificate will be sufficient (as she is <16). Do we require to submit Indian passport as well, which she got after birth in UK?
Yes and yes you will have to submit her Indian passport.
Evidence of applicants’ parent’s immigration status in the UK at the time of applicant’s birth

Parents’ passport at the time of applicant’s birth – Submit parents Indian passport, correct?

If fathers passport, the marriage certificate between applicant’s mother and father is needed.-submit marriage certificate??
This is required only IF the child was born AFTER you got ILR, which would have made the child automatically British. It does not apply to you.

Many thanks for clarifying it all the points!

Sorry, one more thing, for my other child (born in India) after ILR, and AN form (will be 16 at the time). He needs only naturalisation certificate, and Indian passport (used to come to UK) and does n’t require birth certificate (as was not born in UK).

Thanks!

You would need to follow the checklist at the time. He also completes for MN1 REGISTRATION and NOT form AN. Form AN is ONLY for adults, 18 and older.

Can I make a suggestion, as you seem to be confusing yourself unnecessarily. Focus on the UK born childs MN1 for now as they qualify. When you are ready for the rest of the family, then post your questions. Focus on completing one step at a time instead of trying to get so much information about everything which will only confuse and overwhelm you more.

Hello

Please help me on the list of documents that I need to submit with my daughter’s MN1 application-

 Proof of Mr xxx (father) parental responsibility for Ms yyy.--?? (Is it a birth certificate of my daughter)

 Proof of Mrs mmmm (mother) parental responsibility for Ms xxx.--?? (Is it a birth certificate of my daughter)


 If Ms xxx told us that their parent is settled in the UK then you must provide us evidence of their settled status. This could include a BRP, a letter from the Home Office, an endorsement in their passport or another document certifying permanent residence.

-- Do I need to submit BRP and letter both and also a copy of my passport?
-- Do I need to submit BRP and passport of my wife as well currently she is on Tier-2 visa?

 A letter of consent from Ms xxx's parent(s) or legal guardian(s) The letter must: give their full names and addresses say that they agree to let you apply for a British citizenship If you have more than one parent or legal guardian, they must both sign the letter and confirm that they agree to what it says. If you only have one parent or legal guardian they must explain why the other parent is unable to consent e.g. whereabouts unknown, no contact since MM/YYYY.

-- In consent letter, there is a section for father and mother which does not have any space for the address, after filling this we don’t have to fill the guardian one. Shall we put address separately or just sign it.

 Two referee declarations for Ms xxx.

-- My first referee is BC with age more than 25, my second one (also BC) knows my daughter for about more than a year as a professional referee, is that OK?

 If Ms xxx has a passport then provide this with your application. If Ms xxx does not have a passport then you must provide another officially-issued identity document. This could include an official travel document or national identity card.

—will submit her passport

 Ms xxx's birth certificate (showing details of both parents).

- Will submit a birth certificate

 Ms xxx's current biometric residence permit (BRP).

- Will submit current BRP

 If Ms xxx told us that their parent is a British citizen then you must provide us evidence of their citizenship. This could include their British passport, a certificate of citizenship or their birth certificate.

-- not applicable

 Do I need to submit other documents such as my wife’s passport, BRP, my salary slip, bank statements, address proof related documents for my daughter? or I'm missing anything

Looking forward to hearing from you,
Thanks!

Submit a passport copy and BRP copy of the mother as children usually go by the mother

 A letter of consent from Ms xxx's parent(s) or legal guardian(s) The letter must: give their full names and addresses say that they agree to let you apply for a British citizenship If you have more than one parent or legal guardian, they must both sign the letter and confirm that they agree to what it says.

Just draft a simple letter of consent and both mother and father sign. Add the contact details there

-- In consent letter, there is a section for father and mother which does not have any space for the address, after filling this we don’t have to fill the guardian one. Shall we put address separately or just sign it.

No. Just the mother passport and BRP for ID purpose
Also, your passport and BRP

Thanks!

1) Sharing address, mobile phone, email? Say yes to both father and mother.

2) “Someone else” as you are acting on behalf of the child.

3) Representative would be correct because the child can not act for him/herself so “I am the applicant” will not be correct. I did the same for my daughter had no issues. Her MN1 was approved in 28 days.

I would suggest you to add a cover letter also mentioning that both parents consent to make MN1 application for your child. Sign, date and mention contact details.

It doesn't mean other agents/representative or it can be father, as I'm filling this for my daughter.

Hi

Regarding declaration, I'm having a doubt, as in the following link moderator suggests to tick I'm applicant for a 3-year-old. Please see below-

british-citizenship/declaration-for-mn1 ... 88735.html

I request you to please help me with this, which one I should tick? as in my case my daughter's age is between 3 and 4 years.

Sorry, the other thread (please see below) says the second option (as you mentioned in your earlier post).

british-citizenship/questions-on-mn1-form-t283336.html

I guess (3-4) year old can't act as an applicant, it has to be parents (which in this context are representative of the applicant), correct?

I will appreciate it if anyone else has a child of similar age group and filled the MN1 form, could also help me on this!

Thanks again for your help!!

Hi
I have some more queries-

--Provide your postal address- xxx

Is this where you live? Yes

When did you start living at this address? yyy

Have you lived at your current address for 5 years? No

Now it asks for previous address-

--Previous address

Enter a previous address in the last 5 years, starting with the most recent. You will be able to add additional addresses after you click 'Save and continue'.

Date you lived there from

Date you lived there to

Previous address

Please suggest do I need to enter here my current postal address again or have to enter the address before living to the current address?

Thanks!

Your child is 3/4 so you really cant give 5 years address. Just tick “Yes” to 5 years living at address question. HO knows how old your child is.
