Thank you for your enquiry.

It is important for us to know what your Immigration Status was at the time your son was born in the UK in order for us to provide you with an answer to your question.

If at the time of your son’s birth you were either a British citizen or held Indefinite Leave to Remain in the UK, the your son is entitled to British Citizenship by BIRTH – as per section 1 of the British nationality Act 1981.

Someone will be in touch with you shortly to see how we can help you further.
