1. Does kids automatically qualify to register for birtish citizen when parents have ilr? Yes - if born in the UK and under 18.
2. What is the timeline for that application for the kids registration process pls ? Is there any super priority ? Standard 6 months processing applies though it's generally faster than that - Nationality applications are not immigration and no priority or fast track available.
3. can kids travel outside the country during the application is in process ? In principle yes - do kids have a visa though?

Thanks in advance

Thanks for the response .. yes kids are on dependent visa ... but once we move to ilr if that dependent visa is still valid ?

ILR is used for travel, just like a dependent's visa.

Your children's dependent visa should still be valid once parents obtain ILR. Though if it expires while waiting for their registration approval you will need to arrange for private health insurance for them and they won't be able to travel.

Ok so if registration is applied and if waiting approval and visa expires then cannot travel outside and will require health insurance??

Also what is the process to apply for registration and how soon can they get British passport after registration Pls.

Thanks

You apply on form MN1 to register them as British, attend a biometric appointment and then wait. It can take anywhere between a couple of months and 6 months (sometimes longer) to get the approval and registration certificate.

Once you have the certificate, you can apply for a 1 week fast track British passport.

Yes that is correct. Once they have their registration certificate they need to obtain a British passport in order to travel (takes up to 3 weeks and can be fast tracked for children).
