#1 UK British Citizenship by Birth Lawyers & Solicitors

British Citizenship by Birth explained

If you were born in the UK before 1983, you are automatically considered a British citizen and don't need to apply for British Citizenship. Therefore, you can directly apply for a British passport without first registering yourself as a British citizen.

For people born in the UK after January 1, 1983, British citizenship is not automatic by birth alone. You automatically became a British citizen at birth if either at least one parent was a British citizen or had “settled status” (Indefinite Leave to Remain, permanent residence, or right of abode).

For all other cases, children under 18 can register as British citizens if they were born in the UK and a parent becomes settled in the UK before the child turns 18.

​This process is another way to obtain British Citizenship in the UK.

How to Register a Child as a British Citizen

Before considering a registration application, you must check whether the child is already a British citizen. The child may already be a British citizen, and you do not need to register the child.

If the child is not registered, you should complete Form NS to establish your immigration status and claim British nationality. This form serves as a confirmation of your citizenship for purposes other than passport applications. For obtaining a British passport, you'll need to submit a separate passport application to the Passport Office.

British Citizenship by Birth Eligibility & Requirements

As explained above, children under 18 can register as British citizens if they were born in the UK and a parent becomes settled in the UK before the child turns 18.

There are just 2 things that must be true:

• They must be under 18 at the time of the application.
• While they were minors, either of the parents became British citizens or settled in the UK.

Cost of British Citizenship by Birth

The cost of registering a child (under 18) as a British citizen by birth is £1,214.

If your child turns 18 during the application process, you must pay an extra £130 for the citizenship ceremony.
