british citizen?

[godaddy]

If the father of my child is British by naturalization, does this make the baby British by descent?

[gidoc]

'British Citizenship by descent' is the category for the children born outside the UK to a British citizen
1. Child born outside the UK on or after 1 January 1983 automatically acquires British citizenship by descent if either parent is a British citizen other than by descent at the time of the birth.
2. Caveats are:
A.Only one parent—father or mother—must be British otherwise than by descent.
B.If parents are are not married, read this illegitimate children of British citizen fathers

Unfortunately I don't understand all that legal speak.

If you are unmarried to child's father and child was born before 1 July 2006, then no.

Else, child is British (provided father satisfies meaning of "parent").

[godaddy]

Thank you! But does this apply to children born outside the uk too?

[vinny]

Yes, as father is naturalised, making father British otherwise than by descent.

Was the father British at the time of the child's birth?
