Citizen by descent
How do I register as a UK citizen by descent, I'm over 18.
Mother naturally born with US and UK citizenship (in UK to deployed US citizens). |
Re: Citizen by descent
What year was your mother born? When you say 'deployed', do you mean that your grandparents were serving in the USAF or similar?

Re: Citizen by descent
Exactly, her father was serving in the UK and her mother went with, so she was born on UK soil hence the UK citizenship with the US. She has birth certificates for both nations. She was born in 1964.

After 1983, and I am over 18

Re: Citizen by descent
If your mother was born before 1983 and you were born after 1983 and your maternal grandfather did not hold diplomatic immunity at the time your mother was born then you are already a British citizen and only need to apply for your British passport.

Awesome thanks! That's a lot simpler than I imagined

Re: Citizen by descent
Please note that being a British Citizen by descent means that you cannot automatically pass on your British Citizenship to your child born outside of the UK.
