I need some help regarding to apply british citizen for my son. My son was born here in uk( 3 years now) last month we got our ILR myself,my wife and my son. My question is can he apply for british citizenship now or he has to wait for 1 year of ILR. because we are thinking of taking british citizenship for him only.

He is entitled to be registered as a British Citizen since he is born here in UK under MN1 Section 1(3).

thank you for your reply. I was told by one solicitor that he cannot apply for british citizenship straight away because he has got ILR last month and he has to wait for 1 year even he was born here. What do i need to do to process british citizenship?

check the Citizenship FAQ for Children

sorry i did not get it.

Children

Eligibility

Q1: Can my son apply for naturalisation?

The term used for children applications as BC is Registration and not Naturalisation. The requirements for children are a lot simpler than for adults.

UK born

In the child was born in the UK before one parent had ILR/PR, then once one parent is granted ILR, the child is entitled register as BC under section 1(3) of the British Nationality Act irrespective of their immigration status.

This application is an entitlement and as such the HO has no discretion in the decision if the statutory requirements are met. The application can be made any time before the child is 18. The only documents required are UK birth certificate and evidence that parent obtained ILR/PR. The application can be made if the child is in the UK or abroad.

If the child was born in the UK after one parent has ILR/PR, then the child is British from birth and can apply directly for a passport.

thank you for your reply. And which form do i need to fill for my son to grt British Citizenship?
