British Citizenship by Naturalisation or Registration
Achieving British Citizenship is the final step for many immigrants, granting full rights and the privilege of holding a UK passport. Namsolicitors assists clients with applications for Naturalisation (Form AN) and Registration (for children or those with a connection to the UK). We ensure you meet the exacting legal requirements, including the necessary qualifying period of residency, good character criteria, and possession of Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) or Settled Status.
The ‘good character’ requirement can be particularly challenging, requiring careful review of criminal records, financial conduct, and compliance with immigration laws. We provide expert advice to mitigate any potential issues before submission. For children, we guide parents through the Registration process, ensuring applications are made under the most appropriate and beneficial section of the British Nationality Act. We aim to make this significant legal transition clear and successful.
