Hi once more, Just thought I would drop you all a line to say that I applied for my passport, and I got it! I ended up sending all the originals, as I couldn't find anyone to certify them, but they all made it back ok. I applied using the check and send service at the post office, and within 2 weeks ...

Can anyone tell me why someone born before 1983 cannot apply to be registered due to their mother being registered under section 6 (2) of the 1948 registration act? I was looking at the requirements for my brother to also claim through our mother, but there was a point saying you are ineligable if ...

It says 'Registered as a citizen of the UK and Colonies under section 6 (2) of British Nationality Act 1948' on her certificate. She ...
