So yes I'm British by descent, is this classed from birth or from the date we got our certificates after application. If you understand what I mean. I already had children born in the UK before I got this certificate. The reason I want to know this is because their mother is a EU citizen she is uns...
Hi everyone, I got my British nationality act 1981 certificate of registration via UKF back in 2016 when it came out. Trying to find out if this certificate classes me of British from birth ? Or is it from the date it it issued ? This information is important as if this classes it as from birth. Th...

Aha. Good to know. Thanks. I don't plan on asking the state for anything initially. Just my NI number in order to gain employment. Will also convert my driver's license ASAP.
Then again, it also depends on what area/suburb specifically and what type of accommodation you are seeking. For example, I live in a houseshare with other non related people, in a small room (and I mean small) and pay £95 per week but it does include all bills (council tax, tv licence, utilities, ...
When you say 'limited funds', how much do you reckon you will have?? At the very least, enough to survive 2 months as if I was a full time resident (i.e. taking account average cost of living, taxes, rent, transport, food, mobile). This all depends on my severance pay from the company I am with her...
It really depends hugely on where you will be based in the UK. Presumably you have accommodation sorted?? I can PM you a list of UK employment agencies if you wish?? this will help if you want to start temporary or contract work. I was planning to stay with my Father, but he is moving to Cornwall. ...
and ever though you are British, you will not get help from the government until you have spent 3 months passing your habitual test period.and you will not have access to things like Student loan until you have spent 3years. so, brace yourself, British passport does not solve all problem and London...
You will need to wait till you are here ideally, have your NI number and can apply for jobs and attend interviews. Members are also not permitted to name companies specifically on the forum. Wow that was a fast response! I accidentally hit submit and was still editing my post. I am basically just t...

My passport application went out just under two weeks ago. It has just been dispatched (last I checked they were still making a decision!) with DHL courier and I will have it next week.
Ceremony was done yesterday. I am now officially a certified British subject. Happy days! Now just to get the passport. Congratulations. Good luck with the passport. My son is still waiting for a ceremony date, since 5th November. Thank you! The waiting is the worst, isn't it? You've still got abou...
Hi there From what you've described, eligibility for Irish citizenship stops at your father, as he has grandparents who were born in Ireland. The only way you would have been eligible is if your father had already claimed Irish citizenship through FBR before you were born. There are only special ci...
You can only apply for an NI number once you are IN the UK. Yes, you need to register with a GP/NHS in the area you will live in. You will need proof of residence and your passport. You will also need a passport to open a bank account. A bank account is not difficult to open. Thank you CR001. Your ...
Can I ask which of your fathers original documents did you send to support your application? Some say ‘send birth cert, passport, naturalisation, etc and some say send only one of them.
