British citizenship does not always pass down automatically to a second generation born outside the UK. If a parent is a British citizen by descent, meaning they themselves were born abroad, their child will not automatically be British and may need to be registered before turning 18. Once a child turns 18, this registration route closes, and the only remaining option is naturalisation as an adult, which has its own separate residence and eligibility requirements.
