Nationality Inheritance.

[JayMee5]

Hiya...I'm Nigerian, born in Nigeria too, and my mum became British after my birth; Naturalization. Now i'm 20-somfink years old, and was wondering if I could apply to become such as my mom; based on her Nationality status??

I think that the answer is probably 'No' but the rules are so complicated that I'm not entirely sure!

See here for the rules:

and here for Wikipedia's attempt to make sense of them!

If you're in the UK, phone the Nationality Contact Centre on 0845 010 5200 for advice.

If you're in Nigeria, contact the British High Commission in Abuja:
