Who already has British citizenship?

This section will help you decide whether you are already a British citizen. For information on what British citizenship means, see About citizenship.

If you have a British passport issued on or after 1 January 1983, it will say whether you are a British citizen.

If you are not already a British citizen, you may be able to register or become naturalised as a British citizen. You should go to the section on eligibility to decide if you qualify.
