I want to be a British citizen

[alvarez0306]

I won't need to apply for citizenship if I am a citizen

I should be able to go straight ahead and apply for a passport.

Ah yes good point. Hopefully your able to do that then! Good luck let us know how you get on

And if you face any difficulties in persuading HMPO to issue a passport 'tout de suite' then this may help sort you out:

Ah yes the old Form NS, I have seen that, and I'm hoping I don't have to do one because the nice lady at UKVI told me it can take up to 6 months. It also costs £162. I was talking to a very helpful lady at the local register office about the whole situation while I was there to sort something else out too, and she said that if she were in my situation she would just apply for a passport and hope for the best.

I'm going back in on Monday to talk to their immigration expert.

The guidance for Form NS says:

If the evidence is in the form of your, and a parent’s birth certificate you should consider applying for a British passport. Only if you do not have documentation acceptable to the passport authorities should you apply for confirmation of nationality status.
