Applying for your child to be registered as a British citizen via the MN1 form? 

Over the past 12 years, our Naturalisation Experts have perfected the way we present and submit our British Citizenship applications to ensure we always secure our clients their naturalisation approvals while providing a five-star service. During this time, we have been fortunate enough to experience almost every possible situation when it comes to eligibility or supporting document issues, and we know every reason given for refusing an application for British Citizenship. Armed with this expert level of knowledge and experience, we can ensure you secure your naturalisation approval, the first time you apply.

So, you can either spend months researching how to secure your child’s own approval or follow our simple instructions and allow us to secure the approval for you? Should you choose our full representation service, you will receive our no-win, no-fee guarantee (subject to our Terms and Conditions), and benefit from our expert legal cover letter that will argue your naturalisation case through to approval. We have only been as successful as we are in securing British citizenship approvals due to the power of our legal cover letter. Perfected over the past 12 years and 4,000+ UK naturalisation approvals, our legal cover letter explains your case to the Home Office while linking your supporting documents to the specific rules that apply to your case. That way, we can ensure that even a poorly trained or new Home Office caseworker will not make mistakes when deciding upon your case.

Should you not want our British Citizenship Experts to represent your child’s application fully, why not allow us to be your insurance policy by taking advantage of our consultation services or Expert Citizenship Checking Service? We offer a Telephone/In-Person Consultation if you simply want us to answer any questions or doubts you may have about your application. As you are paying for our time and access to our expert knowledge, we will tell you the answers to any questions you have and teach you everything you need to know to secure your naturalisation approval. Likewise, once you have fully prepared your cover letter, your applications form(s), and gathered all the documents needed, you can purchase our Expert Checking Service to ensure you have not made mistakes that could jeopardise a successful application. While we can only guarantee your citizenship approval if we are representing your case, rest assured your dedicated Naturalisation Expert will advise you of all the changes needed to your application. Considering our full-service clients secure their children’s British citizenship approvals first-time, you can expect your naturalisation application to be approved if our advice is followed to the letter.

Why not call one of our British Citizenship Experts today (or request a call-back on this page), so we can provide you with a quote for the different services we offer, and let us give you the confidence you need to choose First Migration to ensure your child secures their British citizenship.  

Knowledge is power, but experience counts for everything when it comes to ensuring a naturalisation application is approved every time, without exception. As you can appreciate, our Citizenship Experts are testing the naturalisation system daily. This enables us to ensure our clients are always ahead of any changes to the British citizenship rules, naturalisation policy guidance, or the latest excuses given for refusing a British citizenship application. This level of practical experience ensures that we can manage the process for our clients, make all the right decisions when applying, reduce the risk of mistakes being made, and give our clients the peace of mind they expect. As soon as a new excuse is given for refusing an MN1 Registration case, our detailed document list, document templates, and legal cover letter are updated to ensure this new excuse cannot be used to refuse our clients’ registration as British applications.

Should the application process change while you are applying, our advice and service will immediately adapt to the new circumstances, so you will not be impacted in any way. Only by preparing and securing naturalisation approvals daily could you ever apply for your child’s British citizenship in total confidence that it will be approved first-time.

Should you sign up for our full-representation service, we offer a no-win, no-fee guarantee (in line with our Terms and Conditions) to demonstrate just how confident we are in securing your child’s British citizenship. All you need to take advantage of this guarantee is provide us with the supporting documents we ask for, in the format requested, and follow our advice to the letter when we are applying on your behalf.

We also reassure all our clients that should they sign up for our full-service and their child satisfies all the eligibility requirements, they are signing up for us to work with them until we secure their child’s registration as British approval. As a result, our service will only be over once we have delivered your child’s approval as promised.

Children applying under the age of 18 years of age at the time the Home Office make a decision on their applications are not required to satisfy the Knowledge of Langauge and Life (KoLL) requirement. This means they are not required to pass an English test or pass the Life in the UK test.

Since March 2019, the entire application process is now fully digital, and there are no specific application forms needed. When the application is initially set up online, the correct category of UK Visa or citizenship must be selected to ensure that you are applying for the correct visa. Before the application process evolved to a fully digital process, the application forms needed to apply for ILR were as follows:

• Form AN – This was the form used by adult applicants aged 18 years old or over to apply for naturalisation.
• Form MN1 – This was the form used for child applicants under the age of 18 years old.

We are pleased to confirm that these forms are technically not appropriate anymore, and should you take advantage of our services, we can ensure that you apply correctly online so that the application is approved first-time.

As you will already have full access to financial (benefits) and NHS healthcare support paid for by the British government now that you, as the child’s parent, have secured your ILR Visa, EEA Permanent Residence, or European Settled Status you are not required to pay the NHS Surcharge when applying for your child’s British citizenship.

For your information, you may find that the NHS Surcharge is sometimes stated as the Immigration Health Surcharge (or IHS), so do not be confused, as they are just different ways of saying the same thing.

Since it is not a simple process for the UK government to remove your child’s British citizenship once granted to them, the UKVI will never be rushed into making a decision. As a result, there has never been a Priority Service available to applicants applying for British citizenship.

The only service available is the UKVI’s Standard Service which means it could take up to 6-months for you to receive a decision for your child. Based on our vast experience, the typical processing time for a successful MN1 Registration application is about 3-months.

If you have tried applying yourself without expert assistance and find yourself in the unfortunate situation of receiving your child’s British citizenship application back refused, we would recommend the following:

• Call one of our British Citizenship Experts immediately, and they can thoroughly assess your situation and confirm the best options available to you to turn this situation around ASAP.
• As there is no appeal process or administrative review allowed, you will have lost the government fees you have paid and will be required to re-apply once you have corrected the issues used to justify refusing your child’s previous application.
• Re-apply ASAP (once your child qualifies for citizenship) by submitting a perfectly presented and argued application to ensure your child’s British citizenship application is successful.

If you have recently received your child’s citizenship application back refused, we would recommend you call one of our British Citizenship Experts to see how they can assist you, or submit a call-back request on this page, and they will call you instead.
