British Citizenship by Birth is a legal status granted to individuals born in the United Kingdom. However, being born in the UK does not automatically make a child a British citizen.
The child’s eligibility depends on the immigration status of their parents at the time of their birth and the date they were born.
A child automatically becomes a British citizen if they were born in the UK on or after 1 January 1983 and at least one of their parents was a British citizen or 'settled' in the UK at that time.
For children born before this date, the rules were different.
If a child did not qualify automatically, they may be eligible to be registered as a British citizen later, for example, if a parent gains settled status or British citizenship.
A child automatically becomes a British citizen if they were born in the UK on or after 1 January 1983 and at least one of their parents was a British citizen or 'settled' in the UK at that time.

No. For children born on or after 1 January 1983, it depends on the parents' immigration status at the time of birth. They are automatically British if at least one parent was a British citizen or settled in the UK.
The main criterion is that at the time of the child's birth in the UK, at least one parent held British citizenship or a form of settled status (like ILR).
Yes. If the parents were not settled at the time of birth, the child can apply to be registered as a British citizen later if a parent becomes settled or a British citizen, or if the child has lived in the UK for their first 10 years.
If your child was born in the UK before 1 January 1983, they are generally considered a British citizen automatically, with very few exceptions.
You will need the child’s full UK birth certificate, parents' passports and proof of their immigration status, and evidence of residence if applicable.
