Important Notice - Amendments to UK Nationality Legislation

Amendments to UK Nationality Legislation is currently being debated in the UK Parliament. An amendment has been proposed by the United Kingdom Government which will enable British Nationals (Overseas) who do not have another nationality to register as a British Citizen under Section 4B of the British Nationality Act 1981.

However, this amendment has not yet been passed into law. The British Consulate-General is therefore unable to advise on eligibility for British Citizenship until such time as the amendment becomes law, and the Home Office issues relevant guidance.
