If the child is born in the Republic of Ireland, then the birth must be registered.

Whether or not parents have a PPS number and whether or not the child is an Irish citizen.

I am confused what citizenship she had when she was born. She is unable to say. My understanding is that Singapore was no longer a British colony in 1959. However, this website (the person responding is Jane White of the Nationality Operational Policy UK Border Agency) states "Before 16 September 1...

As I understand the (British) State of Singapore Act 1958 established Singapore as a de-facto independent Commonwealth country for most purposes, including nationality, with effect from June 1959. On that basis, birth in Singapore would not have automatically conferred Citizenship of the UK & Coloni...

Perhaps ask HMRC for your tax records and Department for Work and Pensions for your National Insurance record?

After that if you don't have specific details and cannot find any other records, you will simply have to say that specific details are unavailable.

Probably better to first obtain proof of British citizenship through consular birth registration.

Applicants under Form UKF (or Form T) do not need to have a passport. If there is a choice between the two routes then UKF is normally preferable since the fee is lower and a U.K. born person will normally be a British citizen otherwise than by descent. What's the mother's nationality? If a Commonwe...

If the child is born in the U.K- then child is not required to be present in the U.K. to become a British citizen. However, a first British passport application from Pakistan may take some time.

When in 1962 did he arrive in the U.K.? The Commonwealth Immigrants Act 1962 came into force in (as I understand) July 1962, so immigration control operated quite differently before and after that date. Certain persons from former British India did not become Indian or Pakistan citizens in the post-...

It is not possible for a parent to renounce a child's British citizenship.

Singapore is unusual. According to this Home Office document it ceased to be part of the U.K. and Colonies for nationality purposes in 1959, even though it was not attached to Malaysia until 1963. https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/258242/ukandcolonies.pdf If t...

As I understand it, the same naturalisation application gets considered under both 6(1) and 6(2).

Children born to unmarried partners after 10th September 2015 need to submit a DNA test if claiming British citizenship through the father. As the child was born in 2014, a DNA test may not be mandatory. The link quoted is not from an official source. There is absolutely no evidence that this is th...

Presumably your grandfather served in the Australian military. Australia was a dominion long before 1949 (1901). It was not included as a colony in the British Nationality Act 1948. The kind of "Crown Service" in Australia that would be eligible would be if someone was recruited in the civil service...

That is worrying - are they essentially doubting their own ability to issue passports correctly the first time, and therefore asking for proof for every subsequent re-issuing? Is there any indication how widespread this request for information for renewals of the children of EEA citizens born Briti...

Informal discussions with the Police do not normally need to be mentioned. A formal caution or reprimand is different (also a court conviction)- but these details should usually be available from records. In addition, there's a procedure to be followed for formal cautions and it's not something that...

I'd expect some investigation of identity status when a first passport application is made from overseas by someone claiming to be born to a mother naturalised as British in 1960. Pre-1986 naturalisation certificates are no longer held by the Home Office and may not be replaceable if lost. Perhaps f...

Hi everyone, We are a Portuguese couple that are about to receive the adoption certificate for our child and we’re pretty much in the same situation as the Polish couple. We have been living in the UK for less than 5 years so we’re not yet considered settled. However, we have managed to obtain the ...

Right of Abode means what it says- your husband has the right to live, work, study etc. in the United Kingdom with all the rights of a British citizen except a British passport. Also the right to vote. He has this as a Commonwealth country (Canadian) citizen adopted by British born parents before 19...

This is the first I have heard of the future intentions requirement being seriously questioned. However- you made it a lot harder for yourself by applying for a first British passport from India (straight after naturalisation) and it appears that you may have given information with the Passport Offi...

Assuming you are from an A8 accession country, you arrived in January 2004 with a student visa and effectively switched to EEA status on 1 May 2004. The current EEA Immigration Regulations came into force on 30 April 2006- these do require Comprehensive Sickness Insurance for those exercising Treaty...

Your grandparents moved from Kenya to the U.K. after independence. Do you know when they moved? And are your grandparents of Asian descent? The reason for these questions is that it may indicate if they retained British nationality after Kenyan independence and whether or not they arrived in Britain...

It would be strongly recommended to get a British consular birth certificate: https://www.gov.uk/register-a-birth Ideally- this should have been done before you applied for the child's British passport. As for the long delay in processing- you may want to contact your Member of Parliament for assist...

As others have discussed, it appears that lack of WRS registration currently has no consequences other than the time does not count for acquisition of Permanent Residence. It is possible that Home Office policy on naturalisation could change in future, although that is perhaps unlikely since by some...

Who is "they"? The Passport Office? Regardless of the outcome, you need to seek your own legal advice as to whether you are really a British citizen or not. If you are not a British citizen, then any British passport issued to you will not be valid and could be revoked (or renewal denied) at a later...
