Children born in the UK whilst their parents hadn't been granted settlement at the time of their birth have to pay £936 to register as a British Citizen is against their fundamental human right. Some parents with three children pay about £2,808 which is heart aching.

Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
We can't accept your petition in its current form as it does not call for a clear action from the UK Government and Parliament. Your petition does not state what action you would like the Government to take. If you would like the Government to stop these charges, you could start a petition calling for that.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
