British Citizenship by Naturalisation

Naturalisation is the most common route for adults to acquire British citizenship. To apply, you must usually have held Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) or settled status for at least 12 months and meet strict requirements relating to residence, good character, English language, and life in the UK.

Child Registration for British Citizenship

Children under the age of 18 may be eligible to be registered as British citizens through various statutory routes or at the discretion of the Home Office. This is not automatic in all cases, even where the child was born in the UK. We assist parents and guardians in navigating the complex registration process, ensuring applications are correctly structured.

British Passport Application

Once British citizenship is acquired, whether by birth, registration, or naturalisation, individuals may apply for a British passport as evidence of nationality.

Deprivation of Citizenship

Section 40 of the British Nationality Act 1981 gives the Secretary of State the power to deprive a person of British citizenship in certain circumstances, such as where nationality was obtained by deception or where deprivation is considered necessary for national security reasons. We advise on your rights, potential grounds for appeal, and legal strategies for challenging deprivation decisions.

Renunciation and Resumption of British Citizenship

British nationals may choose to renounce their citizenship for personal or legal reasons, such as acquiring another nationality. In some cases, it may be possible to resume British citizenship later. We advise clients on the implications of renunciation and assist with applications to resume British citizenship under the British Nationality Act 1981.

Right of Abode and Certificate of Entitlement

We advise individuals who have the Right of Abode in the UK and wish to apply for a Certificate of Entitlement as formal proof of their status. This document can be endorsed in a valid non-UK passport and allows the holder to enter and live in the UK without the need of applying for a British passport.
