Child citizenship with single mother- both with ilr

[Damzek]

Hi

My child and I gain ilr last year via 5 years route. I am a single parent alone in the uk with my child.

Upon applying for ilr, I demonstrated and prove sole responsibility for my child. The father is in a different country. (note: The father name is still on birth certificate).

As evidence, I use letters from school, clubs, payments, and bank statements and receipts, etc

Question: To apply for British citizenship, would I need to prove sole responsibility again by re-submitting up to date documents from the school, clubs, etc?

Or should i only provide my consent letter and explain that I submitted and demonstrated sole responsibility when applying for ilr last year?

Thank you for your reeponse

The requirement is to provide parents' consent.
If one parent is not present/able to give consent then that should be explained.
Referring to what you submitted for ILR should be helpful.

Thank you.

So no need to re-submit those documents to prove sole responsibility.

Thanks

Yes, best to submit those with your explanation.

"Have you made any previous UK immigration
applications in the UK or abroad?"

I have responded "No" to this question above by misunderstanding the question. Does this harm my application for Naturalisation? I have already submitted and done biometrics. I have done Tier 2 and ILR application before this application.

How can I correct the mistake?

It does not affect your statutory requirements. You can simply send an email to UKVI to explain the mistake.

Thank you very much for responding.

Application date: September 23, 2025
Biometric date: September 27, 2025

I noticed the mistake on Dec. 5 after a friend asked me what was my response to that question.

I sent email to FurtherNationalityEnquiries@homeoffice.gov.uk and Citizenship support on Dec. 5 and Dec. 9 to explain and include my previous uk applications dates.

I am worried that it might affect my Good Character standing as I answered "No" when I should have said "yes".

I am still awaiting a response from the email and also a decision on my application.

[contorted_svy]

Absolutely it will not have an effect on your good character. Your application is still well under 6 months so no reason to worry about a delay.

Thank you for your response. I will certainly update this post with the outcome of my application. I hope the moderators do not lock this communication.

Thanks again
