My mum was born in Scotland and came to Australia when she was 10 and I was eligible. The only caveat was that due to me being born before 1983 (I think the cutoff was) I had to apply to become a British citizen first before I could get my passport. But if you are born after 1983, you are automatically entitled to British Citizenship and you can just go down to the post office and organize a time for an interview and go with your mums birth certificate, your birth certificate and a few other things that slip my mind right now (but all the information can be sourced at the post office) and they will do the check list, you pay your money (about $275 when I did it in early 2011) and they send it off to New Zealand and in about 3 weeks you get your passport.ps: European passport not too sure about, mother was born in England, came to Australia at age 6, Father born in Australia.
Easy peasey.
