United Kingdom - Passport & Nationality - NEW - British Citizenship by Discretion (4L Mother Protectorate)
This solution has become available because of new legislation to remedy gender discrimination in the old British nationality law. Broadly, it requires:
- applicant born between 1 January 1949 and 31 December 1982;
- applicant's mother born before 1 January 1949 in a former British Protectorate, Protected State, Trust or Mandated Territory;
- applicant's parents married before the independence of the mother's country of birth;
- applicant's paternal grandmother born in the UK.
PLEASE NOTE: If such an applicant has any children under the age of 18, then these children could be registered as British citizens.
