British passport

[Fortune]

Hi, my mother was born in Scotland in 1966 to a Nigerian Father and mother. Her father studied and worked there. He later got a British citizenship by naturalization. So is she a British citizen? And are her children British citizens by descent?

Hello,
Yes, your mother is a British citizen since she was born in Scotland, part of UK.
Naturalization (or naturalisation) is the legal act or process by which a non-citizen in a country may acquire citizenship or nationality of that country.

If your child was born in the UK and at the time of the birth either of her/his parents were: British citizens themselves; or. settled in the UK, then your child was automatically born a British citizen, and you can apply to the British Passport Office for a British passport for the child.

Where did you find that, John? Those are the latest rules, but it's very helpful.

Yes. This Chart is according to the latest rules of the British Government.

I pointed that out because different rules applied in 1966. Still helpful though.

Could you tell me where you found it? I'd like to contact them.
