British Citizen Born Abroad

Post by cht7520 » Sun Dec 03, 2017 1:56 am

Hello

I have a question with regards to my kids (twins) born in the USA. I am a British Citizen by naturalisation and my missus has a spouse visa in the UK under me. I understand that my kids will have qualified as British Citizens under me but I wanted to ask what's the fastest way to bring the kids to the UK? I can obviously get a US passport very quickly for them (within 2-4 weeks) but what about entering the UK? Would it be faster for them to get a passport within the UK or must they get theirs in the USA?

Thank you all :)

If your kids were born after you naturalised, then they are automatically British.

Thanks for the reply :)

I know they'll be British, I just don't know what's the fastest way to get him into the UK. So I can just take him into the UK with their American passports and say they're my kids, then apply for a passport in the UK? Thank you so much for your help!

Technically, there are only two options for a British citizen. Either a British passport or a Certificate of Entitlement to the Right of Abode, placed in a foreign passport.
