Form AN (http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/applicationforms/nationality/form_an.pdf)

Guide AN (http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/applicationforms/nationality/guide_an.pdf)

these are the forms that i think are for british citizenship if married but 1.1 and 1.2 are different questions.

documents required

completed application form
payment of fee
you and asawa's passports
marriage certificate
life in uk test/ESOL certificate/letter (i think there is box to tick if you already showed when you applied for settlement section 1.22)
passport photo for referees and identity page
2x referees (one of professional standing, doctor/ vicar etc)

thats of the top of my head, there may be more documents needed, we are applying soon so im just swatting up

:iagree: ... either Joe, Wales Rob or Iain Busby ... as the wives of the latter two members mentioned already HAVE British Citizenship ...

[Arthur Little]

as i remembered the documents the form that need to fill in, in that form you need two referee's whos british passport holder, two 2x2 photos, of course the fees, your passport n your hubby's passport, uk test or esol cert. and married cert. actually phone the home office to ask the application form for you and your daughter, goodluck!!!

Form AN is the one you want: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/applicationforms/nationality/form_an.pdf and the guide for that form is here: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/applicationforms/nationality/guide_an.pdf , but it's a different one for your daughter and there's a bit on that form that you have to state that you are applying for her under section 3(1) of the British Nationality Act 1981. It's a very complicated form to complete btw.

Applications for registration will be considered at our discretion under section 3(1) of the British Nationality Act 1981. When deciding whether to register a child as a British citizen we will consider:


the child's connection with the United Kingdom; and
where the child's future is likely to lie; and
the parents' views; and
the parents' nationality; and
whether the child is of good character; and
the length of time the child has lived in the United Kingdom; and
any compelling circumstances such as a job offer or other opportunity which requires British citizenship.

There are no formal requirements that the child needs to meet. We will consider the individual circumstances of each application. When you make the application you should make sure you provide us with all the information you think is relevant to the child's case.

Here is the form and the guide document you will need to apply for your daughters naturalisation.

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/applicationforms/nationality/form_mn1.pdf

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/applicationforms/nationality/guide_mn1.pdf

You apply under Section 3 (1)
• section 3 (1) any other case not listed below where it is considered to be in the child’s best interests to be granted British citizenship.

Cheers,
Iain.
