    Form MN1

    Happy New Year Everyone!!!! its been a while since I last posted here! sorry! Been very busy with my 3 kids.. (well, 4 if you include my husband) and a part time job..

    Anyway, I just want to ask about my eldest daughters MN1 form..

    1) Do I still need to put her "missing" biological dad details on the form? (missing because no contact since birth!)
    I don't know his details either, birthday, address, etc!

    2) How about the consent? Do I still need it? Well I am guessing not as we don't know if he is still in the universe?!!

    (Well, my daughter's been using my last name since birth until we used deed poll a year ago! .. yes biological dad was named in her Birth Certificate.)

    Don't know what else to add?

    Thank you so much again!!!

    From Page 4 of MN1 Application Form:-

    Details of the child’s parents(If one or both are not the birthparents, please provide details of the biological parents on page14 of the form)

    From page 32 of the GUIDE MN1

    SECTION 6: CONSENT TO THE APPLICATION
    For section 3(5) it is a legal requirement that both parents consent to the application.
    (In the case of widowed, divorced or separated parents, this only applies to one parent.
    If the child is illegitimate, only the mother needs to consent.)

    The consent of both parents to the application is also a legal requirement for section
    4D. Where one parent has died only the consent of the surviving parent is needed. The
    Home Secretary may also waive this requirement in exceptional cases.

    For other types of application we require the consent of all those with parental
    responsibility for the child. If only one parent has consented, please explain why at
    section 6.3. If it is not convenient for one of the parents to sign the form, consent can
    be provided in a separate letter. If the father of an illegitimate child is making the
    application, we would expect the mother to have consented.

    Section 6.4 is to be completed if the application is being made by a guardian. Section
    6.5 is to be completed by a child if he or she is making his or her own application.

    If the application is being made by a guardian, we will expect to see evidence that that
    person has parental responsibility for the child, such as a deed, will or court order. If
    the child’s parents are living we would normally expect them to be British citizens and
    settled in the United Kingdom.
    You can't provide information that's no longer available or even needed.

    Maybe you already read those sections, anyway hopefully it helps you

    Thank you Terpe!

    Follow up question to Form AN please.. if you don't know your father's birthday and birth place is it okay to leave it blank and just put 00-00-00? Thanks again! (MN1 for my daughter and AN for a friend)

    On page 6 of the AN Guide it states:-

    1.23 – 1.30 You might already be a British citizen without realising it. To decide whether you already have British citizenship by descent we need details about your parents.
    If the father's data is not known then if can't be entered. Explanation should be given.
    Personally I wouldn't just leave it blank.
    It's not critical to the application.

    Isn't the father's data available from other sources (other family members, birth certificates, marriage certificates etc)

    Sorry can't give anything more definitive

    Hi everyone, just want to update this thread.. My daughter is now a British Citizen , she got her Certificate last week. The date on her certificate was a week after we sent her documents.
    Now, we just need the passport sorted just before she turned 16! Thanks to all of you

    Aimie, you've mentioned 'deed poll', ... does this mean you wish to change your daughter's current surname to that of your husband?

    There's really no problem at all.
    You just need to comply with the Passport mandatory requirements and all will be fine.
    Nothing to panic about.

    Hi, just an update, HMPO told me to cancel my daughters Philippine passport and send them the certificate of cancellation from the Philippine Embassy. I've done it and sent the certificate straightaway. Hope its all okay now and who knows maybe this week or next week she will have her interview.
