Register for British citizenship as a child under 18
Use this form to register for British citizenship as a child under 18. This is an alternative to the paper form MN1. If you were born in the UK on or after 1 January 1983 and lived here until you were 10 years old, you might be able to use form T to register as a British citizen instead.
You cannot apply online if you live in the Channel Islands, on the Isle of Man or in a British Overseas Territory. You should apply using the Channel Islands, Isle of Man, British Overseas Territory form.
In your application, you can include other children under 18 if they meet the eligibility criteria. Read more about citizenship for children under 18.
