British Nationality: Children
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps she is taking to ensure that citizenship application fees are affordable for children who need to regularise their immigration status.
Answered by Mike Tapp
Children seeking to register as a British citizen will have the fee waived if they are able to credibly demonstrate that they cannot afford the fee. In addition, where an application has been made by or on behalf of a child who is looked after by a Local Authority, no fee is payable and it is not necessary for the child’s financial circumstances to be evidenced.
