Stop exorbitant fees for children entitled to British citizenship

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

-Reduce current fees (£1012) for children registration to actual cost application £372

-Stop profit of £640 per application

-Make access entitlement to British citizenship a matter of pride not rather encourage division

-Please sign for a fairer society
This now a long standing issue, yet it remains unaddressed as it fit well with the current “Hostile environment policy”.

Amnesty international has already produced a report on the subject

Entitled: The price of citizenship
