Hi. I am new to this site. I'm 21 an currently in the process of gathering evidence for Form T. I was born in the UK and have lived here my entire life. My mother was born abroad but I have never had a passport.

I am struggling to understand what evidence will suffice in proving that I lived here from ages 0-10 years. I've moved around my entire life so I've been to about 5 different primary schools. I don't have any letters from them and barely remember some of the names as I was only there a short time. I assume accessing medical records won't be as difficult ajd I have written to my GP about this.

Basically what I want to know is will a school leaving certificate from my last primary school be enough? Other that the only thing I have is school pictures that show school logos. I have called one of the primary schools I attended and they have said they destroy records after 7 years.

I am really worried as I just want this sorted but really don't know what I need to do. Maybe people who have filled out this form and been successful can help me out?

Thank you in advance.

i applied for my childs T form myself...u just need to get letters from all nursery and schools the dste u started and left..thts all along with red book, imunisation record... and u can read the guidance for form T for detailed info...good luck

Hi, just wondering if anyone else has been in a similar situation to me and can help. I was born in the UK and my mother was born overseas. My father is British by descent and born in the UK. So I figured instead of going through Form T I can use the UKF form. What I'm wondering is whether I would have to submit a passport, the issue with that being that I don't have one and never have.

So has anyone here ever done this form but not submitted a passport and still been successful?

Thanks!

Was/is your father married to your mother?
What was your mother's UK immigration status when you were born?

Thanks for your reply. They were never married and aren't now. I am also unclear on my mum's immigration status as she herself doesn't know. She came over to the UK with her British mother when she was 6 months old.

If your mother was British or had ILR or had the right of abode at the time of your birth, then you are automatically British too.

Applicants under Form UKF (or Form T) do not need to have a passport. If there is a choice between the two routes then UKF is normally preferable since the fee is lower and a U.K. born person will normally be a British citizen otherwise than by descent.

What's the mother's nationality? If a Commonwealth country- other than Pakistan or South Africa- then she would generally have Right of Abode due to her U.K. born mother. In this case the original poster would be a British citizen automatically and could evidence this on form NS.
