What are the rights of British Citizens when it comes to passing on British Nationality to their children?
If you’re a naturalised UK Citizen planning to return to your country of
birth, have you thought about the implications for your planned
children?
- If you have children after naturalisation while in the UK, will they be considered British?
- What if you’ve left the UK after your naturalisation and had children back in your country of origin?
There are numerous ways that people can become British Citizens and this
legislation is controlled mainly by the British Nationality Act 1981.
Whether or not you are able to pass your Citizenship to a further
generation will depend on which section of the law conferred British
Citizenship to you.
Before making a big decision to head back home, make sure your future
children are guaranteed British passports. If you are British by any way
other than Descent (by birth or Naturalisation in the UK), then it is
probable that your children would become British.
Under certain circumstances children born to you when you are back in
your country of birth may be able to claim British Citizenship.
If you are considering leaving the UK to go back to your home country,

knowledgeable consultant will advise you and assist with any
applications, should you wish to apply for children that were born
