Stand by children raised here and help end child citizenship fees

The current fee for registering a child as a British citizen is £1,012, while the Home Office’s estimated processing cost for this application is £372. That represents a surplus of £640 per application. Families are put under enormous pressure by this.
A landmark judgment from the High Court in December 2019 found that the Home Office’s child citizenship fee is unlawful. The court found a “mass of evidence” showing the fee prevented many children from registering for British citizenship, leaving them feeling “alienated, excluded, ‘second-best’, insecure and not fully assimilated into the culture and social fabric of the UK”.
