CAN I GET A BRITISH PASSPORT?
Even though UK citizenship and nationality law is extremely convoluted because it is based upon more than 1000 years of legal precedents, in this video we’ll break down the basics so that you can determine if you’re a British citizen, which will mean you are eligible to apply for a British passport. So let’s get to it!
THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND:
There are several ways to become a UK citizen: by birth, naturalization (immigrating to the UK and applying), descent, and registration.
You can apply for your first British passport (or any other type of British citizenship document) at any time - you do not need to do it before you reach a certain age.
British citizenship can ONLY be inherited through a parent by the first generation born outside the UK in almost all circumstances. Different rules apply to children born in British colonies and territories.
The UK recognizes dual citizenship. This means that any other citizenship you have will not conflict with your claim to British citizenship.
However, if you claim British citizenship, make sure it does not conflict with your original citizenship as nationals from certain countries, such as Germany, automatically lose their original citizenship if they naturalize or claim another citizenship (under most circumstances).
UK Passport and Citizenship Eligibility:
Born in the UK
Born before January 1, 1983: Apply for your UK passport right now
Born on or after January 1, 1983: One parent must have been a British citizen at the time of your birth for you to apply for your British Passport
All people born in England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales, the Isle of Man, and the channel islands prior to 1983 are British citizens and thus entitled to British passports.
Born Outside the UK to a British Citizen Mother (who didn’t inherit her citizenship)
Born before January 1, 1983: You Must “Register as a British Citizen” before applying for your UK passport
Born on or after January 1, 1983: You can apply for your UK passport right now
If you were born inside or outside the UK on January 1, 1983 or later, and your mother was a British citizen (other than through descent) at the time of your birth, you are a British citizen by descent and can apply for a British passport.
Every person born to a British mother, regardless of whether she was ever married, is a British citizen through descent as long as she was a British citizen at the time of their birth.
Born Outside the UK to a married British Citizen Father (who didn’t inherit his citizenship)
You can apply for your UK passport right now.
Born Outside the UK to an unmarried British Citizen Father (who didn’t inherit his citizenship)
Born before July 1, 2006: You must “Register as a British Citizen” first - unless you can prove to the satisfaction of the UK passport authorities that your country of birth recognized your birth as legitimate at the time you were born or sometime between your birth and July 1, 2006
Born on or after July 1, 2006: Apply for your UK passport right now.
If you were born either inside or outside the UK to a British father on or after this date, and your mother was not British, you are still a UK citizen by descent through your father and thus eligible to apply for a British passport. Even though British nationality law still recognizes the concept of “legitimacy”, children who were born “illegitimate” to a British father after this date can now inherit British citizenship.
I was born after British Colony ended in Hong Kong and my mum got her British citizenship in 2006 and she has British passport. Also, she lived and worked in UK for 11 months and she could live and work there again. Am I eligible to apply for passport instead of citizenship?
If you were already born when your mother became a British citizen you are not going to be eligible for a British passport except in very specific circumstances.
my paternal grandparents were british, my dad was born in Bristol, UK, came over to Canada in 1955 with my grandparents. Eventually, they moved to Seattle (Boeing recruited them). Can I get a British passport? My dad still has his passport, it may be expired, he's 81.
Yes, you can apply for your UK passport with your father's expired passport, his UK birth certificate, your birth certificate listing him as your father and your parents' marriage certificate.
I was borne in England in janury 1982 but l Never clam an english citisenship Can l do it now? And what abowt m'y kids?
Can they acwaer abritish paspor tow??
I was born in the UK before 1983. Does a British passport holder still have to verify my identification? If not, can I bypass that part of the passport application?
Im a Saudi citizen and I’ve born in U.K. in 1980 and had my first and only British passport when I was 4 years old. Can I renew the passport now from overseas ( out side of U.K.) and how? Also Can give my son who was born 2010 out side of U.K. a British citizenship?
My grandfather worked as seaman in British ship during 50s to 70s, we can claim
Probably not
My parents and grandparents were born in the time my country was a British colony/protectorate. I was born in that country before 1983. My parents were married to each other at the time. Can I get a passport as a desent.
Unlikely if your parents lived in the country when it became independent. If they were not in the country at the time and did not lose British citizenship, then you would be a British citizen.
Last question would it matter if that nation remained as a commonwealth state?
Hi there. My grandmother and grandfather both had British passports. Mom was born in Zimbabwe (then Rhodesia) she held some kind of subject passport. Was wondering if there was any way I could still apply?
I have a question im from the netherlands 🇳🇱, i dont have family from UK, if i immigrate and i stay 5 years can i apply for british passport?
After getting British passport being in the Cayman Islands, can a person move to the UK to work or live?
My father has a British passport in year 1956 as british protected person (Malaysia). Is it possible for me to get PR to get in london. I'm from Malaysia.
That's a good question. My guess is that he probably lost this status when Malaysia became independent in 1957, but it's possible he didn't. Has he ever lived in the UK?
My father is a British Passport holder because he was born in England and is living there presently. My two brothers got their British Passport upon applying at arrival in the UK,I want to apply as well but am living in Grenada could I apply for me and my family from here?If yes how?
Question I’m from a British overseas territories can I still apply and what be the requirements?
My children's Father was born in the UK but naturalized as a US citizen when they were seven, are my children eligible for a British passport?
My name is Patrick Richard jr Saul I’m born outside the uk my father is born in the uk but was not in the uk and was not married to my mother at the time of my birth I’m from Belize Central America I’m 30 years old and I’m born in 1991 back in 2011 I tried to get my passport and change nationality but was denied due to my mother and father not being married I hear the laws are changing now and I wanted to know if I’m eligible for a British passport and British nationality by decent

Hi! My grandfather on my mother's side was born in 1891 and my grandmother was born in 1903, my grandfather and grandmother's father both fought in WWI and my grandfather was decorated by King George for his service. My mother was born in 1941 here in Canada and i was born in 1979 in Canada. Can I apply?
Because your mother was born in Canada you likely cannot apply for a British passport.
You might be eligible for an ancestry visa; however we are a Canadian company which helps Canadians get their UK passports through their parents, so we don't know the rules of the ancestry visa.
Question.Considering moving to london.what type of passport will I need to travel to other countries ie Scotland and Ireland?
If you have a British passport and can travel to the UK, you do not need that passport to travel to Scotland. Scotland is a "constituent country" of the UK and the border is not an international border.
Ireland is an international border, and there is lots of confusion around what will happen with Brexit. You will soon need your UK passport to travel there if you don't already.
My mother was born in British Hong Kong in 1966, (as were both of her parents), but she then moved to Canada in 1967. Does she have a claim to British Citizenship or any other sort of nationality? She currently is a Canadian citizen.
Hi Cole,
Hong Kong is generally a special case. The issue is whether she was a British citizen at the time of her birth or a British subject. Do you know the citizenship of her parents when she was born?
@@immigroup Thanks so much for the reply.
She doesn't know if she was a subject or a citizen when she was born, nor do her parents know. We just know that her and her parents were all born in the colony. Do you know who would've had citizenship and who wouldn't, at that time? They are ethnically Chinese if that is any help.
But, I also read in the British Nationality Act of 1948 that one would have the status of CUKC if he/she was born in the UK or a colony between 1949-1983 (as she was).
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Nationality_Act_1948
Would this have automatically made her a citizen at birth?
i lost my passport in uk im indian ... livning 10year in uk ...what i do?? can i apply british passport??
We're a Canadian company which helps Canadians claim UK citizenship through their parents so I'm not sure we can help.
If it was a British passport, you can just apply for a new one online.
If your question is about immigration, it depends upon your status whether or not you can apply for citizenship but you will have to look online at the UK government website for that information.

At 0.58 , it is written in third paragraph, that British citizenship can only be inherited through a parent by the first generation born outside the UK in almost all circumstances. Now my dad has a British Passport. I was born out of the UK. I am 19. Can I get British Passport? If yes, then how? And if no, then why? Thanks
Was your dad born in the UK or did he naturalize in the UK?
@@immigroup He has a british passport. He wasn't born over there.
@@yoginmbrahmbhatt1391 And you were born after he naturalized. If so then you are likely a British citizen.
My sons dad is British but he is not on his birth certificate although his dad died but i got all the paperwork and the dna from his grandparents and he is 38 now can he apply and how thanks
Hi, quick question?
I was born in the UK and I have an original copy of a UK birth certificate. My parents had an indefinite leave to remain status at the time. Can I claim for British nationality?
Yes, sounds like it. You'll need your birth certificate and proof of your parents' status at the time of your birth.
OK, Thanks a lot!
@@simonsebuliba510 Good luck
After renouncing my citizenship can I regain it? (US, Mexico, Canada)
The process would be different for each country. For Canada, I don't believe you can regain your citizenship after renouncing without immigrating and naturalizing (which takes years), but you can only renounce if you are a dual citizen.
I’m dual in Mexico and USA, if I renounce the Mexican citizenship can I regain it back in the future??
@@mauri9289 Mexico decides upon this only.
I was born in Hong Kong in 1964. I still have my British Passport has Hong Kong's name in the front .

What's the three letter code on it? (Example: GBR)
@@immigroup I do not see any three letter code. Front cover of my passport has my name, British Passport and Hong Kong. Passport # starts with A.

I was born in United Kingdom in 2003 to unmarried parents from Ireland. I moved to Ireland at young age. My mother is not a uk citizen but My father might be a uk citizen because he was born abroad to married British parents. Does this make me a British citizen and do I have the right to apply for British passport ?
Thanks in advance
Because our mother is Irish and you were born in the UK you are British.
My daughter has a British passport,(British Virgin islands i.e) can she get the UK passport? If so at what age?
If she was a British Overseas Territories Citizen in 2002 she should have become a British citizen. If she wasn't born yet, she has inherited that from you.
I was born in a country outside Britain, my father was a British citizen and married to my mother when I was born, can I obtain British citizenship through my father?
Yes, you will need your birth certificate, listing his name, his birth certificate and your parents' marriage certificate.
Of course, you can you has to be a Qualified person. Cheers
I was born in St. Christopher and Nevis in 1975. At that time we were ruled by Britain. In 1983 At. Christopher and Nevis became independent. Can I apply for British Citizenship?
Were you living in Sk Kitts when it became independent? If you were you likely lost your British citizenship at that time, when you gained your St. Kitts citizenship. Sorry for the bad news.
@@immigroup yes I was about 8 yrs old.

My farther born in Australia and was nationalised as a UK citizen not by descent does that qualify me to become a British citizenship even though I was born outside of the UK
Were you born after your father nationalized? If so, then you are not able to apply for a UK passport through your father.

@@souf1706 You're claiming British citizenship through your father? And what was his citizenship at the date of your birth? And he naturalized, right?

I was born in uk to Irish parents and live in ireland. my father might be a british citizen because both of his parents are.if he is a citizen can I claim it through him ? Thanks
So your father needs to have been born in the UK or to have naturalized in order for you to claim British citizenship by descent.
