You're automatically British, unless your parent(s) were foreign diplomats.

Just apply for a passport.

well the website says

they require these A photocopy of your current ID (eg: driving licence, bank statement, student card, household bill) AND
Your original UK long version birth certificate AND
Your original Deed Poll/Statutory Declaration if you have changed your name other than by marriage, together with 3 original forms of identification in your new name.

my birth certificate ok

i have got my turkish id card as well as my driving licance but they are all in turkish

Dear Vinny

I have contacted the embassy, and i am suprised by the answer given by them, they say that only my uk birth certificate is not enough to apply for a passport,they need the birth certificates o ma biological parents (who were born and bred in the uk) as well as their naturalization documents, which i dont have,

looks like i cant apply for it

Thanks again for all the helps and advices

Kind Regards

Peter

Get your biological parents' birth certificates from England and Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland.

Were they married to each other?

If your birth cerificate is not sufficient, then it may be worthwhile also getting confirmation of British nationality.

Dear Vonny

I would assume that they must have got married in scotland, cos my birth certificate indicates my place of birth is scotland,

very many thanks for the links

I hope i can get my parents birth certificates

Kind regards
