Closed petition Make applying for UK Citizenship free for under 18 year olds

It currently costs over £1,000 for under 18 year olds to apply for UK Citizenship. This cost is prohibitive for many families but results in real life stress for many young people who already call this country their home. The government must make this free for children.

More details

This is an equalities issue. The only thing stopping some people from applying for Citizenship is the cost. This is unacceptable for a great nation such as ours, it goes against British Values such as tolerance.
