British Citizenship
Qualifying
You may qualify for British citizenship if one of the following applies to you:
- If you were born in the UK. (When born, you do not automatically receive citizenship.)
- One of your parents was born in the UK.
- One of your grandparents was born in the UK, the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man.
Prove your Ancestry
You must prove that you have a grandparent born in one of the following:
- in the UK, the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man.
- before 31 March 1922 in what is now Ireland.
- on a ship or aircraft that was either registered in the UK or belonged to the UK government.
If you or your parent were adopted or if your parents or grandparents were not married, you are still eligible for citizenship. However, UK ancestry through stepparents is not permitted.
