Did your uncles and aunts live for more than five years in the UK before 1983? If they had CUKC status and then lived in the UK for more than five years, they would have become British citizens in 1983.mslibraoctww wrote: ↑Sat Sep 26, 2020 6:08 pmHer 2 sisters and 1 brother all are also british citizens
Yes. What matters is the status that her parents had at the time of her birth. British citizenship (and also CUKC and RoA) are determined by the status of the parents at the time of birth of the person or the person's own (not parents) subsequent registration/naturalisation.mslibraoctww wrote: ↑Sun Sep 27, 2020 1:49 ami want to know if her parents as i already told above were registered in UK in 1975-76 and were british citizens and she shows the proof of their passports ,still she would get British Overseas Passport
No, she can't apply for that category of visas, as that is for British National Overseas, a completely different category of British nationality, which was granted on application (i.e. was not automatic) to people who lived in Hong Kong before 1997 (the handover of Hong Kong to China). If she has BNO status, she will have a certificate of the same because, as mentioned above, it would have to be applied for, in Hong Kong.mslibraoctww wrote: ↑Sun Sep 27, 2020 1:57 amI went through this article .Do you think i should wait before applying for her.

If the OP's mother applied for a British passport and the application was successful, it may trigger loss of her Indian citizenship. The logic of applying for a Form NS letter is that it allows the OP and their mother to test the evidence without imperilling the mother's existing Indian citizenship.
@vinny, that is a good idea, because this whole thread has been whether the mother has RoA or not (I think it is not disputed that she had CUKC in the past).
I'd suggest applying for Form NS first, because that will tell whether or not the mother can apply for CoE-RoA at all.
You'd want both that and the documentation proof of your grandparents registering in the UK, your mother's stay in the UK between 1967 and 1970, etc. You'd want to build up the case for her possibly having RoA (though, as I have advised earlier, I do not see any evidence of the same).mslibraoctww wrote: ↑Sun Sep 27, 2020 4:18 pmOriginal .....
I have her birth certification registration from Kenya,Nakuru
and
British Passport showing "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northens Ireland"
This is in INDIA with her .I have only copies.
Does she not have any other passport (of any other country) at the moment?
She would have had CUKC status till 1982, because British nationality classes only changed on 1st January 1983.mslibraoctww wrote: ↑Sun Sep 27, 2020 9:52 pmI would definitely want to know firstly what type of nationality status she gonna have on her british passport to avoid any problems she might have after having british overseas passport.
