Thank you all for the help.

You were absolutely right - my son doesn't need to attend the Citizenship Ceremony as he is too young.

Thank you and Good Luck to everyone.

This is single MN1 application.

Dear All, Please, can you advise about the Citizenship Ceremony, does 6 years old child need to attend it after registration? I know that is sounds like a silly question but I was reading the MN1 Guide today and in Chapter 7 it states: " Chapter 7 Children who attend ceremonies will be asked to ...

Thank you all for you help and advices.

I really do appreciate that there still are people who are willing to help ...

Is that means it is enough to sent the the application, certified copy of the birth certificate and the certificate of registration my son as BC?

Yes, I'm named on the child's birth certificate and it was registered jointly after 1 December 2003.

Is that means I've got the parental responsibility (in the light of UK law)?

My point is that when I'll apply from here I can use Premium service and have a passport within a week or two. From Poland it would take at last twice longer.

We are Polish. I've got BC and my son too. This is what I mean. They say 'sometimes'. My partner had to go back to Poland. She will need to stay ther for couple of weeks and during that time my son's Polish passport will run out. I don't want to go to Poland just to renew his Passport - to expensive ...

I'm wondering if I do need my partner signature for my son's Passport Application or I can sign it myself.

Dear All, Please, can anyone clarify the case of parental responsibility. I've got a 5 years old son but I'm not married to his mother. However we ale living together and I'm listed on the birth certificate. Am I correct to say, that based on the information from www.gov.uk and Wikipedia I've got ...

Eligibility criteria: Section 1(3) Method of application: Postal (SD) Date of Application: 17/01/2013 Date of receipt by UKBA: 18/01/2013 Date of debit of fees: 23/01/2013 Date of receipt of acknowledgement: 28/01/2013 (dated: 23/01/2013) Date of receipt of approval: 11/02/2013 Date of receipt of ...

Thank you Jambo, thank you very much.

I'll keep you posted about the progress.

FYI: I've sent the application this morning via Royal Mail Special Delivery.

The search facility of the furum is quite useful. You're absolutely right. I'm sorry - that's my fault. Thank you Jambo. I'm wondering about one more thing - referees - the mn1_guide says: "One referee should be a professional who has engaged with the child in a professional capacity, such as a ...

Thank you.

What about sections 2 and 3?

Do I need to fill them up?

Dear forum, I'm back to say I've convicted my partner to sign off the application. To be honest it was easier that I thought, I just told her that our next baby (if we will have one) will have BC anyway ... So: 1. She says: 'OK' 2. I've red the mn1 guide twice and I feel lost. I'm stuck on point 1.3 ...

Thank you guys for all the support and help.

I will fill the application next week and I'll keep you posted

Dear all - thank you very much for this discussion and help. I had another chat with my partner a few minutes ago and she said that she is still 'unsure about it' which is a huge step forward because she didn't say 'no' any more :) However now I've noticed another problem :? - I was so proud/stupid ...

Greenie, I do fully agree with you. I'll try to convince her but from my point of view if we have decided to migrate from Poland to UK and settled here, I can't see why he shouldn't have the BC? You never know what will happened in 2-3 years, maybe we will need to move somewhere and then he will ...

One more question - just to avoid Check and Send fee.

Would you please advise which sections of the MN1 application should I fill out?

will the child retain his nationality if he become British (ie does Poland allow dual nationality)? Why do you feel the need to go against her <wishes? No, he will not retain his Polish nationality as Poland allows dual nationality. My reasons are: 1. he's going to school and I want him to fully ...

As it stated "would expect". For children born in the UK applying under section 1(3), it is not mandatory. By the way, why doesn't the mother willing to give her consent? She has strong strange feeling about being a Polish CItizen and she can't see the reason why our son should have a BC. Also she ...

... parent's consent is not required.... Thank you Jambo, please can you also advise about: "For other types of application we require the consent of all those with parental responsibility for the child. If only one parent has consented, please explain why at section 6.3. If it is not convenient ...

Hi everyone, I'm sorry for starting a new topic but I couldn't find the answer and I thought this is the only way to get help. I've become a BC few months ago and now I've decided to register my 5 years old son as BC. I've got a problem as my partner doesn't agree with registration and she doesn't ...
