Visão geral
A minor child may be registered as a citizen on a parent's acquisition (Constitution s.92(1)(g) entitlement + s.92(2) parent/guardian procedure; Citizenship Act Cap 1.05 s.3(7)). The s.3(11)(m) refusal hook governs CBI-derivative minors.
Quem se qualifica
- Derivative minor registration (constitutional entitlement): a person under 18 who is the child of a citizen — or the child of a person who is, or would but for death have been, entitled to be registered as a citizen under any of the preceding s.92(1) paragraphs — is entitled, on application, to be registered as a citizen (Constitution s.92(1)(g)).
Como solicitar
- Minor registration is made on the minor's behalf by a parent or guardian; an application for registration under the Constitution s.92(1) by a person under 18 shall be made on their behalf by parent or guardian, save that a person who is or has been married may apply themselves (Constitution s.92(2)). - Statutory minor-application procedure: an application for registration under Citizenship Act s.3(2) or s.3(6) on behalf of a minor shall be made by the minor's parent or guardian, or by the minor themselves if the minor is or has been married (Citizenship Act Cap. 1.05 s.3(7)).

Entitled to be registered as a citizen on the parent's application.
Constitution s.92(1)(g): a person under 18 who is the child of a citizen (or of a person entitled to register under the preceding paragraphs) is entitled to register. The application is made on the minor's behalf by the parent/guardian (Constitution s.92(2); procedure in Citizenship Act Cap 1.05 s.3(7), Form R for minors). Derivative minor registration tracks the parent's acquisition.
Registration possible but subject to the s.3(11)(m) refusal hook and CBI due-diligence regime.
Citizenship Act s.3(11)(m) lets the Minister refuse to register a child of a person who obtained citizenship under s.3(5) (CBI) who applies under s.92(1)(g). In practice a CBI investor includes children as dependants in the CBI application itself (SRO 26/2023; SRO 20/2024), but a later standalone derivative registration is screened against the s.3(11) good-character/security grounds. Distinguishes ordinary derivative registration from the CBI-dependant channel.
