British Citizenship for children

If a child was born in the UK to a British or settled parent, they are automatically British.
If a child was born in the UK and at the time of their birth neither parent was British or settled in the UK, then the child is not automatically British but they may be eligible to register as British if one of the parents has subsequently become settled or British.

If a child was born outside the UK but either parent was a British citizen before the child was born, that child may be a British citizen by descent. If so, the child is entitled to apply for a British passport.
