Bristish Citizenship?

Question

Am i eligible for british citizenship if my mother is a british citizen? I was born on 14th January 1983.

Answer 1

A child born outside the UK after 1st January 1983, will only be a British Citizen by descent if:

At the time of the child's birth the father or mother of the child is a British Citizen by birth, adoption, registration or naturalisation, but not by descent.

We need to ask - where was your mother born?

If she was born in UK, then yes you are a british citizen.

If she was born outside the UK to british born parents, then YOU are not a british citizen, although you can emigrate to and settle in UK on the ancestry visa.

You should contact a British embassy/high comission or a consulate and ask. Make sure you have your mothers british birth certificate and your own full birth cert.  

You will need them as proof.

Answer 2

With that date of birth you would have to have both parents born in Britain or at least 3 of your 4 grandparents born in Britain to qualify for British citizenship.
