when were you born? After 1983?

See If you were born outside the United Kingdom or a qualifying territory.

If you were born abroad after 1983, you can't transfer you British nationality to children born abroad. However, they can register as British citizen if you have lived 3 years in the UK before their birth or if the child lives 3 years in the UK, see 3.2 and 3.5.

yes i was born after 1983, my daughter was born in 2010 i went pakistan in 2010 before she was born for 6 months and in 2009 for 6 weeks then i went back in 2011 after she was born for 10 weeks
