Child citizenship application asking about grandparent information???

Hi all,

Applying for citizenship for my 9 year old daughter. When trying to choose which category to select I'm not sure which one to choose: Since both her parents are now UK citizens the only one I see that's relevant to her is "Other- apply at the discretion of the Home Secretary" but my wife says I should choose "One or both of your parents is applying for British citizenship.". But we've already applied.... so I'm confused.

But either one I choose I keep getting a "Grandparent details" question regarding citizenship by descent? Has anyone encountered this before? Can I just choose "I don not know these details and move on?"

Thanks!

What form are you using?

Apply for registration of a child under 18 as a British citizen

Thanks, but already seen that. Doesn't explain the grandparent question which keeps popping up

Try immigrationboards or Britishexpats and look out for Brit In Paris who is the citizenship expert there.

en that. Doesn't explain the grandparent question which keeps popping up

It's a generic form for the many different routes for British Citizenship. For your daughter's route, the grandparent question doesn't apply.

Why didn't you just apply for her Registration at the same time as yours and your wife's Naturalisation?

Because we don't have an extra thousand £s just lying around
