The option to naturalise as a British citizen is generally only available to individuals aged 18 or over. Therefore, if you have a child for whom you would like to obtain British citizenship, it will be necessary to make an application to register them as a British citizen.
Typically, if you and your spouse/civil partner are applying to naturalise as British citizens, any children you have will also be able to register as British citizens at the same time, provided they hold indefinite leave to remain. If your children are aged 13 or older the Home Office will normally expect them to have been living in the UK for a period of at least two years prior to making the application.
For any children you have who were born in the UK prior to you obtaining indefinite leave to remain, they will acquire an entitlement to be registered as a British citizen as soon as you are granted indefinite leave to remain (without you yourself naturalising as a British citizen). In addition, for any children you have who are born in the UK after you have been granted indefinite leave to remain, they will acquire British citizenship at birth.
Full representation may not be suitable for all clients, but our experience is that for those who have utilised this service with us, they have found it to be very helpful indeed. We would encourage readers to consider the wide range of positive reviews which are available on the internet, relating to our services.
We are proud to be able to offer a fixed fee for full representation in your application for your child to be registered as British. Many of our clients find this to be useful in managing their costs and expectations. Although the below pricing information provides a cost range, you will always be given a precise cost on instruction and this will be detailed in your client care letter. The reason that we provide a cost range is because cases can vary considerably according to their complexity.
Curzon Green (London based client) Fee: £1200-£2500 plus VAT; or
Curzon Green (Buckinghamshire based client) Fee: £1200-£1800 plus VAT.
