Hi,
I have gone through the gov.uk website and I believe that my daughter and sons are British by descent.
Assuming that they are British by descent, my real question is should I do anything now that would make it easier for them should they want to live or work in the UK in the future, or perhaps become citizens?
I am a British Citizen born in the UK and both my parents were born in the UK. My wife is American.
You’re automatically a British citizen if you were born outside the UK and all of the following apply:
*you were born between 1 January 1983 and 30 June 2006 (yes)
*your mother or father was a British citizen when you were born (they must have been married if your father had British citizenship but your mother did not) (yes)
*your British parent could pass on their citizenship to you (yes)
Your British parent could pass on their citizenship to you if they were one of the following:
born or adopted in the UK (yes)
I see that I can request a letter confirming citizenship, however it does not seem to be a legally binding document and therefore not much use.
My thinking is that they are British by descent and that will be the case no matter what I do now.
