Help - Register as a British Citizen using form B(OTA)

Hello,

I am currently a registered British Overseas Territories Citizen thinking of registering as a British Citizen. I became registered some time in May 2005.

In the form I got a little confused in relation to the Residence section of the form. My first question is, Do I include the time I spent in the overseas territory or is it solely for the time spent in the UK?

Also, where biometrics are concerned, do I have to go to a specific country to have my biometrics taken?

Have you read the guidance?
The focus is on time resident in UK.

Guidance also covers enrolling biometrics. Have you registered online?
If making your application outside of the UK, in order to book an appointment to enrol your Biometrics please visit http://www.vfsglobal.co.uk/Global/ sign up and follow the on screen instructions. Here you will find your nearest location
