British Citizenship
You can apply to become a British citizen by naturalisation if you meet the relevant criteria which have been set out in the British Nationality Act 1981. This is the most common approach to become a British citizen. This application is decided and granted by the Secretary of State for the Home Office. Requirements for naturalisation include meeting the residence requirement, holding an Indefinite Leave to remain, meeting the good character requirements, the English language test and Life in the UK test requirements. You can also make application for your child to be registered as British citizen. NB: The UK allows dual nationality for its citizens however, this is not true of all countries. Becoming a British Citizen may mean your citizenship can be revoked by the country whose nationality you currently hold. We advise for you to contact your embassy before you decide to apply for naturalisation.
