Am I still a British citizen?
Find answers to your legal question.





Am I still a British citizen?

I moved to Australia from the U.K. on my British passport and I became an Australian citizen a few year ago. Do I have dual citizenship or have I surrendered my British citizenship?

If it happened after 1949 then you are still a British citizen. Actually a dual citizen. If you were going the other way(getting British citizenship) it would have to be after 4 April 2002 in order to keep your Australian citizenship.

Good question...
I say that you most find out with the British Embassy because some country do let their former citizens to keep that citizenship even they become a citizens in other country.

I think in Australia, you can still keep your former nationality, also in Britain, but for more information, please contact the British Embassy in Cambera or Sydney. I think you surrounded your British citizenship, when you were acquiring for the Australian citizenship. However, It is possible to be a dual citizen in Australia

Tricky question as I am not from Britain, but my guess would be that you surrendered your British Citizenship when becoming an Australian citizen.

You have dual citizenship unless you handed in your passport and formally gave up your British citizenship.

Yes. Becoming a citizen of another country does not affect your status as a British citizen
