<p>The Home Office monitors the number of fee waiver applications for children registering
for British citizenship. However, management information in this area is currently
being collated, reviewed and assured, and we are therefore not in a position to share
figures at this time. We are however considering the best mechanism for updating Parliament
with this information when available and will do so at the earliest appropriate opportunity.</p><p>Prior
to 16 June 2022, an application to register as a British citizen as a child, required
the appropriate application fee to be paid and there was no discretion to waive the
citizenship application fee.</p>
