British passport for an Australian citizen
Hi all
My parents have been living in Australia for a while now, I was born while they were officially Australian citizens. I now want to move back to the UK, and am looking into getting a British passport.
I can apply through either parent, however I'm unsure if it matters that they were classified as Australian when I was born, even though they were both born in the UK.
Anyone have any ideas?!

Re: British passport for an Australian citizen
Are your parents British citizens? You mentioned they were born in the UK, but didn't mention their nationality.

Re: British passport for an Australian citizen
I spoke to the embassy today, apparently they're both still British citizens even though they gained Australian Citizenship as kids. Confusing system, but at least I get my passport!
