I hope I can get some help on this question about citizenship. I am a British citizen, My daughter who is 23 yrs old. she was born in the USA and have lived here all her life. We did move to England when she was 6 for a about 3 months, She did go to school and was on my passport. We plan on moving back to the UK and my question would be, does she get UK citizen automatically through me or does she have to apply for visa or naturalization?

She is already a UK citizen, she was on your passport way back when she was a little one, just apply for a new one for her. I don't suppose you still have that old one she was on do you? I had to send mine in with Ds on when I applied for his first a few years back, but without it they just want more paperwork, US birth certificate, etc etc.

Yes I do, still have the passport... thank you for helping me.

As your daughter has never had a passport of her own, she will need to submit a first time application to the Embassy in Washington.
