Apply to Register a Child Born in the UK before ILR Grant to Parent

You can apply for registration of your child as a British Citizen using the application form MN1 as soon as one of the parents has either obtained ILR or has become a British Citizen, if your child was born in the UK when neither parent of the child was settled or a British Citizen. An application for registration of a child as a British Citizen under Section 1(3) of the British Nationality Act 1981 can only be made while the child is still a minor, i.e. under 18.
