Question

I was born in uk 1983, after 5yrs i left 4 abroad wit no british passport. 2007 i return. can i apply 4 it now

Answer 1

If your parents are British, yes.  Otherwise, see the British government website for info.  How did you get in to the UK if you don't have a passport?  If you have another citizenship, that country might not allow dual citizenship.

Answer 2

On the 1st of Jan 1983 the rules changed making it so that children born on UK soil had to have a parent (by parent we mean mother or father if born in wedlock) with British citizenship or Indefinate Leave to Remain in order to be born British.
