Re: undocumented Pakistani family
whats the Uk law now, only citizens kids get citizenship? what teh one must be a birth citizen. dpes bthat mean if lets say two ppl who are citizen but not by birth, they have a kid then their kid wont be a citizen? explain, i dont follow Uk citizenship laws much.
British Citizenship can be acquired in the following ways:
lex soli which is By birth in the United Kingdom to a parent who is a British citizen at the time of the birth, or to a parent who is settled in the United Kingdom
lex sanguinis is By descent if one of the parents is a British citizen otherwise than by descent (for example by birth, adoption, registration or naturalisation in the United Kingdom). Thus, for example some one born in in France to British parents is entitled for British citizenship.
By naturalisation
By registration
By** adoption**
