I am applying for registration of my daughter for a British citizen under section 1 (3) using MN1 application. She was born in UK. My ILR was stamped in Nov 2011.

Section 2.2 of the form states the addresses for the last 5 years..and section 2.3 asks for the absences from UK during the above residential period. Reading the MN1 form guide (page 20) they state that you should inform about the absences during the last 3 years.

During the last 3 years my daughters absences were 53 days, but between the years 3 to 5 the absences were 310 days. I am confused as to what dates i should be mentioning to them in section 2.3.

Moreover 3 years ago at this time my daughter was in UK whereas 5 years from today she was in India, will this affect the results of the application as in the AN form for the adult it states that I should be present in the country exactly 5 years ago before the application.

Is there a time limit for the absence from UK for children registering for citizenship as adults do?

Your expert responses would be appreciated...

Just list the absences for the past 5 years. There are no residential requirements for minor applying under 1(3). It will not affect the decision in her case.

Thank you Jambo...any documents that you know to back up. Kind regards,,,

I'm not aware of a document that list what is not a requirement... The law is very simple - Section 1(3) is entitlement for registration as BC. There is no discretion at all by the HO.
