Default Can I get a British passport

My grandfather was born in Scotland and my father has a British passport. He was born in South Africa when it was colonized. My grandfather also served the royal crown.

I am born in South Africa

Sounds like his National Service. So he wasn’t in the British Army when your father was born?

Jess, the more info you can give BiP the better, if you can find out the year your grandfather was born, and give exact details of his service, then our lovely BiP will be able to tell you if you have a chance of a passport.

No need to apologise at all, it's just that BiP needs all the info to be able to help, so the more you can find out the better. Fingers crossed you get the answer you're looking for.

So your father was born in 1955, not 1967, in South Africa? And your grandfather was serving in the British Army at the time of your father’s birth? Was your grandfather married to your grandmother when your father was born?
