Child benefit

pope

Good evening 

Have gone onto GOV gateway and bank details from my partners to mine. But how do I put the child benefit claim into my name? Can someone guide me what I need to do as online you can only change bank details. 

Thanks

I believe this is something your partner has to do to ensure that they are in agreement with giving up the claim.
They will have to contact them to let them know and then you would need to start a new claim.

Yes partner is in a agreement with me to put claim in my name. Do I just need to do new claim or does my partner need to inform Child benefit prior to this? If so will child benefit end and start again ounce in my name?

I have looked at the link you have provided. will I have to give details of all 3 children again and birth certificates is this a straight forward process doing it online or paper application?

Thank yo

Partner needs to let them know first then you need to put in an immediate claim. 

No idea about your second questions, but when your partner contacts them she could ask those questions at the same time.
