Is registration faster to process than naturalization

has anyone registered for your british citizenship, curious but what was your time frame from getting acknowledge to being approved?

theres numerous threads on the timeline of naturalization, but non on registration

i know theres no hard and fast rules when it comes with the home office as looking at some timelines for naturalization some have had there application approved within a matter of 2weeks whilst some have gone over the 6months period without hearing a word

Do you qualify for registration?

i know, i know , ive lived here all my life but not gotten round to it , my parents should've sorted it when i was a wee lad but that never happened, and its become a real issue now as i like to travel

Your's is not a straightforward case. It may take a while.

You are not a British subject, but a British national. British subject is a very specific type of citizenship that can not be inherited and is typically associated with either Ireland or India/Pakistan when they were Dominions (after independence, but before becoming Republics).

Nationality means that the country issues your passport and supports you when abroad. Citizenship means the right to participate in civic life. You can be a national of a country without being a citizen.
