Complex citizenship application

The Challenges Faced

Client D’s mother, born in Austria, naturalised as a citizen of the UK and Colonies after marrying a British citizen in the 1960s, before emigrating to the USA. Demonstrating Client D’s eligibility for British citizenship was complex due to historical laws limiting citizenship transmission to fathers before 1983, and concerns about possible renunciation of the mother’s CUKC status.

How Latitude Law Helped

Latitude Law conducted checks to confirm the mother’s CUKC status was not renounced and submitted a registration application for Client D under Section 4C of the British Nationality Act 1981.

The Outcome

The registration application was successful, securing Client D’s British citizenship.
