Answer 2

Colin's answer above is correct if you were born before 1983. The Home Office state that:

1. Before 1 January 1983, almost every child born in the United Kingdom (see Note 1) was a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies. The only exceptions were children who were born to certain people holding diplomatic or consular status. Under the British Nationality Act 1981, which came into force on 1 January 1983, citizenship of the United Kingdom and Colonies was replaced by three new citizenships: British citizenship, British Dependent Territories citizenship (see Note 2) and British Overseas citizenship.

2. A child who was born in the United Kingdom on or after 1 January 1983 will be a British citizen if either the father (see Note 3) or the mother is a British citizen. A child who was born in the United Kingdom on or after 1 January 1983 will also be a British citizen if either the father or mother, although not a British citizen, is legally settled (see paragraph 9) in the United Kingdom. In any other circumstances, a child who was born in the United Kingdom on or after 1 January 1983 will not be a British citizen.

If you were born after 1/1/83, one of your parents had to be a UK citizen, or have Indefinite leave to remain here, or a similar status, to acquire UK citizenship.

If in doubt, get specialist advice. The forms to apply are available from the same website.

Good luck!

Answer 3

If you were born here, then you are already a british citizen. Read this:

British citizens
Anyone who is a British citizen is entitled to apply for a British passport.
On January 1 1983, anyone who was a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies on December 31 1982, and had the right of abode* in the UK, became a British citizen.

* NB There may be individuals who have the right to live in the UK but will not have the right of abode in the UK as defined by the Immigration Act 1971, and will not therefore become British citizens – see below

That includes people who

were born in the United Kingdom;
were born in a British colony and had the right of abode in the UK (Those born in a British colony and did not have the right of abode in the UK will not become British citizens)
have been naturalised in the United Kingdom;
had registered as a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies; or
could prove legitimate descent from a father* who one of the above conditions applied to. Before the introduction of the British Nationality Act 1981, a person could not claim nationality from his or her mother.

If you were born before 1982 you are a british citizen, this should be confirmed with the passport office on your nationality status.

Answer 4

No, in the united kingdom a toddler in basic terms gets British citizenship if between the mothers and dads is a British citizen. They replaced the regulation in the Eighteen Eighties. i'm questioning how the U. S. will shop that regulation!

Answer 5

If you are born here, how old are you? Have you been going to school? Can't you ask your dad? oh yes, you are a British Citizen already.

Answer 6

I am guessing you live in Algeria ... so go to the nearest British Embassy or Consulate and enquire there. It may be that they will regard you as being Algerian and not English. Good luck!

Answer 7

If you were born there...why wouldn't you be a citizen of England by birth?
