If my parents were born in another country, and i was born in UK (England) what does that make me?

LadyM

British
You can apply to the country your parents are from and be whatever nationality they are too tho.

depends on your parents' citizenship at the time of your birth....

You can say that you were born in England, but your nationality would be the one that you parents have.
Hope I helped! :)

children born in the UK on 1st January 1983, or after. One of the child's parents has, since the child's birth either become a British citizen, or has become settled in the UK. (UK don't have automatic birthright citizenship)

Parents need register you for their country citizenship (at home country embassy)

It is entirely dependant on the Visa your parents had at the time of your birth. Being born in the UK does not bestow nationality on a person. Unless your parents had resident/indefinite leave to remain visas then you are not British and will take your parent's nationality.

Unlike United States Citizenshp which allows you to become a citizen if you are born on US soil. UK citizenship does not automatically bestowed on you because you were born in the country. If you were born before 1983 your father had to be a UK citizen and if you were born after 1983 then one of your parents must be a UK citizen.

In order to answer question based on the information you have provided it is my feeling that you are not a UK citizen and your citizenship would be determined by the citizenship of your parents. Citizenshilp is determined by their passport, not visa nor country of residence.

You don't automatically get become a UK citizen by being born there, one or both of your parents must also be citizens or have residency right in the UK.

It makes You whatever Nationality your Parents belonged to.

jus sanguinis and jus soli are the 2 standard means of getting citizenship by birth.
jus sanguinis is "right of blood"
jus soli is "right of soil"
Right of blood means you inherit your citizenship. (applicable in UK)
Right of soil means you get citizenship by place of birth (NOT applicable in UK)

Mr Sceptic

You tell us. Where is your home?

If you were born in UK and have lived all your life in UK, and you feel British, I'd say you were British.

Do you say you're the nationality of your parents? In that case that's what you are.

EDIT: I'm sorry, I interpreted this as a question about this person's identity, rather than the legal niceties of their citizenship.

However - if your parents were naturalised (or indeed, neutralised) citizens before you were born, you are most definitely British, and as British as any of us.

Depends on the person, but my parents are from the Republic of Ireland and I call myself English because I was born and grew up here. But my brother was born in Ireland and grew up here, and calls himself English. So, my answer is, who knows?

you're whoever you wanna be, and dont let anyone tell you otherwise

British nationality law is the law of the United Kingdom concerning British citizenship and other categories of British nationality. The law is complex owing to the United Kingdom's former status as an imperial power.

You should find all your answers here:-

First of all, you are English(UK)citizen because you were born in England. In addition, depending on where you parents came from you might qualify for the citizenship of your mother/father's country. It depends largely on their laws. One example I can give you: my son was born in Germany, I am German, my husband was American. Having been born in a German hospital to a German mother my won qualified for German citizenship, having been born to an American father abroad my son qualified for American citizenship. Some countries do allow dual citizenship, so you need to inquire about the status with the embassy of your parents' country. Good luck

If they are permanent residents and have applied for citizenship you will be British. If not you will be the same nationality as your mother

Edit: I am British. I was born in South Africa to British parents. My Friend is Turkish, he has British citizenship and so does his wife. His son is British.

I would say English, as your nationality is determined by the country in which you were born and registered.

Happy Murcia

Your birth will have been recorded by the hospital and therefore would make you English and a British citizen
