One of the legal processes by which a person can change his/her nationality is called ‘naturalisation’. More to the point; a person can attain British citizenship through naturalisation.
Eligibility criteria and requirements have been amended over the years and in some instances drastically changed. It is important to know that if you successfully apply you will be granted the same rights and UK status as a natural-born British citizen. You will be a Briti…sh citizen otherwise than by descent. So, if after you have been so naturalised, you have children born outside of the UK they would most likely be classified as British citizens by descent.
Once approved (and you are over 18 years) you will receive an invitation to attend a citizenship ceremony. You will be asked to affirm or swear an oath of allegiance to Her Majesty the Queen and to pledge your loyalty to the UK.
And finally, you will be able to apply for your British passport!
