Making my son UK Citizen
Guys,
I am a UK citizen now a resident in the U.S . My son was born in the u.s and is 3 years old. I want to make him a dual citizen. Has anyone every done this ? The websites make hard work of it. I am wondering if form MN1 is the correct application ? |

Re: Making my son UK Citizen
Actually, the OP has not posted enough information to determine if the son is indeed a British citizen (e.g. if the OP was not born or naturalised in the UK, then this may not be the case).

Re: Making my son UK Citizen
Thanks JAJ, so it I just need to get get him a british passport then using form c2. This is the 1st time application if you are :
* aged 15 or younger and * a UK Citizen applying overseas or * a British Overseas Territories Citizen or * a British Overseas Citizen or * a British Protected Person. Correct ?

As far as I know you don't NEED to get him a British passport. In fact I'm not entirely convinced that my kids really need them, especially considering the price and hassle of renewing them every five years.
But I'm willing to be convinced otherwise... |

But I'm willing to be convinced otherwise... My daughter is now 10. If I get her a passport now it will run out when she is 15 and I will have to apply for the renewal that will last just another 5 years. If I wait until she is 11 then it is just as easy (and just as expensive) as her British mother to get her a passport that will expire when she is 16. At 16 she can then apply for a simple renewal and get a 10 year adult's British passport. If I don't do this, and at some point in the future she wants or needs a British passport she will have to apply herself as an adult and as a first time applicant and that will probably include a personal interview somewhere and more paperwork. A renewal of an existing passport already in her name is much easier than a first time applicant. I hope that makes sense. |

They will need a British passport if they ever want to go to the UK....otherwise they'll be entering as a USC tourist with limitations, not as a British citizen.

My lot each have a US passport that says they're born in the UK. So they'd be entering as UK citizens. |

But as you said, not much difference unless it's a permanent move as they are allowed to visit for\ 6 months, makes it easier to take part in workers holiday visa for other countries though. Main thing about getting a UK passport, it's a lot easier now with the proof at hand than when you are dead. Also the reason to get the consular birth cert, in case they lose their UK passport down the line, makes getting a new passport a breeze in comparison. |
