hi there, i need some help/advice.
will be much appreciated.

i have never applied for an english passport, i currently hold a spanish one, and i
i was born in spain (92), after 1983 and before 2006. does that make me a english "citizen by decent"? automatically?
(my farther was born in englang from birth, my mother is spanish and theyre not married)

now my question is, i want to apply for an english passport, do i need to apply for a Confirmation of British nationality status (form NS) or can i go straight to the goverment page and apply for a english passport without the Confirmation of British nationality status (form NS).

i dont want to spend £250 when i dont need if i already am a citizen by decent, but then do i need a confirmation letter to apply for a britsh passport?
many thanks and much appreciated, thank you.

This site lists the options involved regarding your situation: https://www.gov.uk/apply-citizenship...-1983-and-2006

Since you were born between 1983-2006, your father is UK born and your parents are unmarried, you're not currently a British Citizen but instead need to register as one using Form UKF, whereupon you'd be a citizen by descent. .

thank you very much that's what i was looking for.
much appreciated.

If your parents are not married and never have been married then you’ll need to register first using Form UKF as sun_burn has outlined. If you’re living in the UK then you may also wish to consider naturalisation to give you British citizenship otherwise than by descent.

thank you both, greatly appreciated. That's what i was after all day.

A bit early for an ENGLISH passport. They will not be issued until England becomes an independent State.
