Getting British Citizenship?

NewsNowGh will examine how a child born in the UK can obtain British citizenship in today’s article.

British citizenship is not automatically granted to infants born in the UK. After the introduction of the British Nationality Act in 1981, having been born in the UK no longer gives British nationality. Children born in the UK may acquire a nationality, depending on their parents’ circumstances.

WAYS TO GETTING BRITISH CITIZENSHIP

The infant will automatically acquire British nationality if either his mother or father is a British citizen at the time of his birth, or if one of the following circumstances occurs.

• Either the mother or the father of the child has established residency in the UK, which indicates that they have either received Indefinite Leave to Remain or a Settled Status under the EU Settlement Scheme.

BRISTISH CITIZENSHIP: THE EXEMPTIONS

Please take note that if these requirements are not completed at the time of birth, the child will not immediately receive British citizenship.

If a kid is born in the UK but does not already have British citizenship, they should apply for a visa as a dependent using the same process as their parents used.

In this situation, the youngster shouldn’t leave the UK until a British passport or UK immigration paperwork is produced.

The child may apply for British citizenship if one or both parents get British citizenship or establish residence in the country while the child is still a minor and present there.

The youngster must submit a registration application before applying for a British passport.
