If you were born in the UK on or after January 1, 1983 and lived there up to the age of 10, then you may be able to register as a British citizen using a T category application form. The eligibility requirements are:

• You were born in the UK;
• You were born on or after January 1, 1983;
• You are over the age of 10;
• You have spent no more than 90 days outside of the UK in each of the first 10 years of your life.*

*This requirement may be waived if your time away from the UK was due to exceptional circumstances.

People who fulfil the following criteria can use Form MN1 to register as a British citizen:

• You have to have been born in the UK after 1982
• Only minors can apply (younger than 18)
• One of your parents had to have settled in the UK or become a citizen after you were born to qualify.

Children born outside of the UK do not automatically become citizens, but they can register as citizens if they meet the following requirements:

• Born before 1 July 2006
• If their parents had been married they would have become a British citizen
• They need to be of good character

Children who meet these requirements can register as a citizen by filing Form UKM.
