He now has problems with travel, ie when traveling to Canada he needs to get a visa,
whereas if he was a citizen and not a subject he wouldn't....
If he applies to the passport office can it be changed accordingly ???

My wife was born in the Republic of Ireland, and had the same problem with a British Subject passport when we went on holiday to America. So to solve the problem of visas, she got herself an Irish passport as well as a British one.

For a start up, there's a difference between British voters and British Born matters. they're thoroughly incredibly some issues. Secondly, a British Citizen (or a British Born project) holds one in each and every of those British nationality, no remember the place they have been born. Why could they be discriminated against in basic terms because of the fact of something they had no say in?

Were his parents born in the UK? The reason I ask is that my daughter was born in Australia, but because I am a British citizen, so is she. (I've just checked her passport and it does say citizen) That's the only reason I can think of as to why he is not a citizen too. Interesting question, I hope someone else can be a bit more helpful!

A Subject - Under a monarchy ie UK (subject to the queen).
A Citizen - is that of a Republic ie France, USA, Italy, China etc
As a Canadian one should be a Subject to the Queen until such time that Canada becomes a republic.

There are no "British" areas really outside of the UK. My wife (Brazilian by birth) has British Citizen on her passport as do I. Could be that their British Passport says "British Subject" as they came from one of the "Commonwealth" countries such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand etc, who obtained their independence but still have HM the Queen as their Head of State.

He may not be eligible automatically. Countries that are still colonised by Britain all contain British Subjects!
He may have to apply (and pay for) citizenship. The Home Office can advise further...

he has to apply for citizenship in order for the nationality to be changed, its not the passports office's decision, its the home office he has to apply to
