Referee for Child MN1 application

[spalai89]

Hi everyone,

We have recently received my wife ILR and we want to go for our UK born child's naturalisation using MN1. We have few queries regarding it.

1. Professional referee - since child only started going to pre-school, we are not sure who should we reach out for this one?
2. Is there any list of required documents to support the application?

Regards,

Refer to the MN1 guidance for referees >>> https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ... n#referees <<< Note that teacher/health workers are often reluctant to act as referees, so other professionals could be used.
Also refer to the referee form format >>> https://visas-immigration.service.gov.u ... on_MN1.pdf
2. Is there any list of required documents to support the application?
Refer to this page of the MN1 Guidance for details of documents required for child >>> https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ... #documents.

Thanks for your inputs. Appreciate it.

Couple of follow up queries

1. Child visa is getting over by end of March 2026. Is it valid assumption, the NHS do not cover him after that until he gets the citizenship?
2. We, parents work in IT; so bit struggling to get someone as professional referee from that list? Does colleague or higher management referral work?
