Hi all

I am a British citizen and hold a valid passport but I current reside in South Africa. I got passports for my twins due to the fact that I worked and lived in the UK for more than 3 years consecutively. I want to do the same for our new born child but I can find which form/section I’m supposed to fill out on the UK passport site. Can anyone advise me.

How did you become a British citizen then?

British women couldn't pass on their citizenship automatically before 1983. Do you have a registration certificate?

Cameron007

Yes

Okay, and you were previously able to register your twins as British citizens under Section 3(2) of the British Nationality Act 1981?
