Good day everyone. This is about the UKF application. I hope u am in the right place. Can anyone advise on what to do if one doesn't have a birth certificate. Father's birth certificate is available though. Thanks for your response.
Laura.
Hi Laura, do you not have a birth certificate at all? You will need your birth certificate for this application, as well as your passport.

Do you have to give your original passport with your biometrics?

I sent my original passport with all my supporting docs to Liverpool. Some people have had success sending copies, for some reason I sent my original (can't remember now why I did that, seemed like a good idea at the time).

When I went for biometrics I took my South African ID card.

The biometrics letter says, "you must bring a passport or another Government issued photographic document, such as an ID Card or a driving licence to gain access to the enrolment centre".

Thanks krotoa. Can anything be done if it's missing and the place of registration doesn't have any other evidence that it was registered? Thanks.

In South Africa we can complete a late registration of birth and obtain a birth certificate that way. Not sure what the rules are in Nigeria. Would it be possible to register your birth now?

Also, the form requests a birth certificate naming your biological father that was issued within one year of your birth. If you don't have that, you will need additional documentation such as I had to provide.

Thank you for your time. In Nigeria, an adult cannot register his or her birth. You can only get an age declaration. Then again, I know of someone who has a laminated certificate. Can he use that for himself? We read that they don't accept laminated birth certificate. Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I am about to apply for the UKF through my lawyer.

I have some questions and I would be glad,
If you could answer them.

- Who will be contacted with the status or in case of any enquiries, me or my lawyer ?

- I live in Switzerland but I have put my brother’s address in London. How will I be contacted? Email or post ? And to which address ?

- Can I track the application online ?

- Do both referees have to be British?

Please let me know.
Can anyone help ?

I applied for UKF but I’m a bit concerned. I sent the following documents: my passport and birth certificate, my fathers birth certificate and the referee forms with the application. Both birth certificates are original and so is my passport.

I do not have my fathers passport as it is still in use and he travels frequently. Will me not sending this be a problem?

He was born in the UK in 1967 and I read on this forum that as he was born before 1983 that his birth certificate is proof of his citizinship but I’m not sure how it proves his citizinship at the time of my birth. He has been a Brittish citizin all his life.

I’m guessing if the fathers listed on the child’s birth certificate, DNA is not needed?

I read that the law was changed in 2015 and from the date other evidence will need to be provided along with the birth certificate. Apparently this law doesn’t affect children/fathers if the birth certificate was issued before 2015 so I’m guessing DNA isn’t needed as I was born in 1989.

I just don’t understand why people before 2015 and after need to follow different rules.

What you've sent is enough. I didn't include my father's passport either. My father was born in England in the 1940s so he was definitely a citizen. Your dad was born in the UK in 1967, so definitely a citizen. The laws changed after 1983 - after 1983 even if you were born in the UK you were only British at birth if you had a British parent. It's more complicated than that but essentially, after 1983 being born in the UK didn't automatically grant British citizenship.

Yes, if the father is listed on the child's birth certificate, and that birth certificate was issued within one year of the child's birth, no DNA test is needed.

I think the DNA tests for kids born after 2015 is to cut down on fraud. Just do a google search for paternity fraud and citizenship and you'll find all sorts of horror stories of people using non-bio parents on their kids' birth certificates so that they/their kids can get citizenship :lol:

How far is your application now? Hope it is going well!

I wonder if after brexit the rules will change so people born before and after 2015 will have to submit DNA. Seems strange that people born before 2015 don’t but people born after do. I read that people born after 2015 can also refuse to provide DNA to.

Brexit won't change the UK immigration rules as such - there's supposed to be a new immigration act laid before parliament this year but whether this topic is directly addressed in that act is to be seen. And the Nationality Act is unlikely to change.

@ alterhase58, I strongly suggest you read this users entire other topic, where they have been given advice repetitively on their issue and yet they continue to random post and spam the forum with the same question.

A link to the topic was already posted on friday, above the users post today.

I think I’m correct but I’m guessing the applicants father doesn’t have to be living in the UK or intending to move to the UK? My dad moved to Australia when he was 3 and he’s now in his 50s. He has no intention of moving back but he intends to keep Brittish citizinship in case he needs to go there for longer then 6 months as we have family there. I’m guessing this isn’t an issue.

Also cause he hasn’t been back for 50 years, if he ever does decide to go back will he be questioned on that?

My father applied for Australian citizinship a few years ago and I’m guessing this won’t affect me and my application as he was a perminant resident for 40 plus years.

Hello all, first off, thank you all (especially CR001 and KasMac) for the advice and information in this forum and also to Antsmall for fighting to change the law that allows us to register. I have a few general questions about filling out the UKF form and would appreciate any advice or guidance. My father was born in Northern Ireland, UK in 1936 and I was born in USA in 1965.


hello,
believe me the said friend of mine has not being registered yet as every correspondence came back upholding the caseworker"s decision. so am really interested in how yours will go,as the ukf team considered her parents married and therefore not qualified for ukf registration
Hi Keji, I am Nigerian and I seem to have the same birth certificate issue - mother’s last name same as father. Can you kindly let me know how your friend resolved this? Thank you!

My application for UKF was successful! Thanks to everyone on the forum who helped me :)

Timeline
Applied: November 17 2019
Biometrics: Dec 17 2019
Got the acceptance letter March 27 2020

My only concern is how I book the ceremony. In the acceptance letter it said I’d receive another letter which will have instructions on how to do this but I haven’t received it yet. I’m in Australia and I tried to contact the embasy and theres no option to talk to an operator and I contacted UK immigration and they gave me an email which I contacted but I haven’t got a responce. I’m getting concerned as I’m not sure what to do.

In the UK all citizenship ceremonies are on hold due to the pandemic - applicants are waiting for further news from their local councils where they are held. UKVI are aware of the situation and they are allowing a delay for ceremonies of up to six months. I expect it's the same situation abroad, for consulates and embassies. At the moment you can only wait for your confirmation - also local staff may not be available, eitherstaying home or re-deployed to other duties.

I submitted my UKF Application on April 29th 2020 and received confirmation with App ID on April 30th 2020. Since then no communication about biometric appointments. Has anyone in the US in the same category had movement on their case?

Hello House, i am really confused and need suggestions. i received an email on 1st July, 2020 stating that i should enroll for my biometrics and i was given 30 days to do this. i have sent two emails on different occasions to ocbeappointments@tlscontact.com trying to book an appointment and till now, no response. The UK Visa application centre in my country opened July 27, 2020 since they were closed all the while due to the pandemic. I sent the second email to ocbeappointments@tlscontact.com after realizing the UK Visa centre in my country had opened and yet, still no response. So i want to know what next to do, if i am the only one experiencing this and maybe i should just be patient as the delay might be as a result of the pandemic.
I will gladly appreciate suggestions, Thanks.

Thirdeye147 I’ve also been waiting for my interview. Last time I heard from them was in June 2020.
I contacted them in August through phone call, the guy on their end told me that they might start interviewing applicants through skype but before that they are gonna test if this method is useful or not. He didn’t give any dates but kept telling me its gonna start soon.

Hi all,

In the process of applying, have not yet paid as I understand there's a timer to get everything sent in and would like to make sure its all in order first.

I understand passports must be original copies. But nothing is specified for fathers birth certificate. I've also searched and found differing reports on here, some saying they were approved with un-certified copies, some with certified, some saying they must be originals.

Additionally, my fathers full birth certificate is one that was re-issued in 2005. Is this still valid?

Appreciate any help.
