Hi , I planning to apply for UK naturalization to my kid (he is holding ILR for past 5Y and I hold BC). His passport going to expire by September. and I have nationality checking service appointment next week.
Can someone please tell me if the current passport expires in September (about 3 months) is that ok to apply for naturalization? or should I first renew his Indian passport and apply for Naturalization? please advise.

It will be fine, there is no need to renew it before you apply.

Thanks a lot. if processing takes 3 months and during the period current passport validity expires what would be the situation. application will be rejected?

would be the situation. application will be rejected?

No

Just for your peace of mind, when I applied for Naturalisation for my child, my child's passport was expired 11 months ago. She was naturalised without any issues.

Dear All,

when I am filling MN1, I see teacher is the one in list of references. my kid is in his new primary school for the last 2 months. I am worried if school teacher denies to sign and I don't find who can sign. please advise

I am guessing if child is above ten then it could be an issue, find a British friend of yours, or someone who knows child for past three or more years in a professional manner. Book NCS and apply. Good luck.
