Hello landers,I want some clear cut advise on this issue;
I have a friend who happens to be born in the UK and due to some family issues,the Mum n Dad got separated and She has to move to Nigeria with the Mum (when she was 7),all she has is a certified Copy entry of Pursuant of Birth i.e (birth certicate).My Questions goes thus: Is it possible to claim a British Born with this certifcate,If Yes,How and What are the processes involved.I will be glad to get some sincere and genuie answers.

1986?
Then she will not qualify for UK CITIZENSHIP by virtue of birth I'm afraid.

The law currently states that every person born to a British citizen in Great Britain after 1982 is a British Citizen.
Before 1982, everybody born on British soil was British.
If the parent's were not British at the time of birth, after 1982, then she is not British.
Is the lady's Dad still in the UK? She may need to find out what his status is and if he is British, when he attained it.
