You can only apply to naturalise as a British citizen if you are an adult aged 18 or over. Children under 18 may be registered as British citizens if they meet the relevant criteria, and their applications can be made at the same time as an adult’s naturalisation application.
Not every child automatically acquires British citizenship at birth. In many cases, children may be eligible to register as British citizens through specific provisions of the British Nationality Act 1981. Registration can provide a secure immigration status, access to a British passport, and the right to live, work and study in the United Kingdom without immigration restrictions.
A UK Ancestry visa lets eligible people live, work and study in the UK for up to 5 years if they can prove that one of their grandparents was born in the UK, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, certain qualifying circumstances in Ireland, or on a qualifying UK ship or aircraft.
