Hi there

I would greatly appreciate if someone could help me out.
I was born in 1989 to a mother who was born in Kent, England, but whom to this day has never claimed citizenship.

Can I apply for citizenship or British passport on these grounds?

In December last year/Jan this year, I was 100% sure I could, but looking around on uk goverment site, either this info has disappeared or something along those lines.

I was under the impression that I was sure to qualify if I was born after '83 to a British born mother, and that it was more complicated if you were born before '83. Though all I can find on topic is re: pre'83 born applicants with British mothers.

Would appreciate any help I can get. Governmental websites are confusing as hell.

As your mother was British otherwise than by descent when you were born, then you are automatically British (2(1)(a)).

Much appreciated, I'll get on my application shortly.

Thanks

Passport.
