Secure Citizenship for Your Child or Yourself Through Legal Entitlement
British Citizenship by Registration
Comprehensive Legal Support from London’s Leading Solicitors
Not everyone needs to apply for British citizenship through naturalisation. For certain individuals — particularly children born in the UK, children of British citizens, or those with historical claims — the correct path may be through British Citizenship by Registration.
At Right Law Solicitors, we help families and individuals understand and access this entitlement-based route. Whether you’re a parent registering your child or someone with a legal claim based on descent or historical law changes, we provide clear, tailored legal support throughout the process.
Citizenship by Registration is a legal right — not a discretionary application — for individuals who meet specific conditions under the British Nationality Act 1981 and later amendments. This route is most common for children and certain adults with special status.
Unlike naturalisation, the rules for registration depend on place of birth, parent’s status, and length of UK residence.
Some of the most commonly used legal routes include:
| Section | Applies To |
| 1(3) | Children born in the UK to parents who became settled later |
| 1(4) | Children born in the UK with 10 years of residence |
| 3(1) | Discretionary registration of children (e.g. strong UK ties) |
| 4 | Adults who renounced British citizenship and now wish to resume |
| 4C / 4F | Historical gender discrimination cases |
| 3(2), 3(5) | Children born abroad to British parents by descent |
We guide you through which documents apply to your specific category and help you gather all required evidence.
We analyse your situation against the British Nationality Act provisions.
We help collect birth certificates, parental documents, and residence proofs.
We complete forms, draft legal cover letters, and submit online.
We guide you through British passport application after registration.
