Answer 1

Local certificates issued by the appropriate registration authorities are normally acceptable for most purposes. You can get information from ukinaustrailia.fco.gov.uk/en/help. General information is: Processing time for registration and nationality categories is approximately 3 to 6 months. Applications cannot be prioritized. All registrations and naturalizations are processed by the Home Office in London. All applicants in Australia must send their application and supporting documents to the British High Commission in Canberra. Go to ukinaustralia.fco.gov.uk/en/passp. MN1 - Registration of a child as a British citizen under 18 years. Here you will get the desired information.
