This section explains the requirements you need to meet to be able to register as a British citizen in one of several of the categories, or as a British overseas territories citizen who has previously given up citizenship. You should read all the sections that may be relevant to you before choosing the type of application you make.
There are separate sections that explain the requirements for registering stateless people or people under 18.
If you are unsure whether you meet the requirements or which type of application to make you should contact us for advice. |
