From what i found out the baby gets the nationality of the mother. But I think that as long as they got a birth certificate they will get a passport. Not sure on the citizenship thing though.

If neither parent are British citizens, the child can not become a British Citizen. This law came into effect on the 1st of January 1983. Howeverif they are foreign nationals with "INDEFINATE LEAVE TO REMAIN", then the child will become British, as that childs parents have to time limit on their right to remain in the UK. But the basic rule is that a child Born in the UK must have at least one parent who is a British Citizen in order to be British. Jus Soli (Right by birth) has been stopped for a long time.

It depends upon the status of the parents when the child was born. Citizenship is dependent upon place of birth and the mother of the child.
If a migrant has a child and then is sent back as an illegal, the child would hold a British passport due to place of birth but that would not confer citizenship

While my husband was serving his tour of duty in the U.S.Army, we were based in Germany. My daughter was born there. She was issued not only an American birth certificate, but a German one as well. It was then called dual citizenship. She had the option to declare her choice at age 21. If she did not pursue to become a German citizen, it was declared that she was a U.S. citizen only. That was in '71, before the wall came down. Things might have changed since then, which I'll say they have. But, that's what happened to us. So here's a old answer, now you have me wondering. Good Luck & let me know if they've changed.

Yes, the child is automatically given that as a birthright. The also have the choice of dual citizenship with the parents nationality.... the parents however do not get citizenship of the baby's country.

Yes, the baby will get British citizenship. You will have to register the birth at the nearest office. The baby can also have the parent's nationality ie: dual nationality. You shouldnt have any problems.

The baby has the nationality of his foreign parents, plus the option to take the nationality of the country the baby was born in

I believe that any child born after January 1983 who has forgeign parents, will only be a citizen if one (or both) of the parents are settled within the UK at the time of birth.

No, the child takes the nationality of its parents. It is only after a number of years of being in the country of residency that you can apply for it to become a national of that country. I hope that I have been of some help to you, good luck.

I did and my parents were Australian but they LIVED in England at the time. They were Australian Citizens living and working in the U.K. This was in 1972 however and things may have changed since then. I'm not sure.
