Wondering if anyone here has gone through the process of getting a British Passport from Australia before. I've been looking through the UK gov website trying to find out if I even qualify and I'm finding it all a bit confusing. These are the facts:
- I'm 25
- My father was born in the UK and moved here when he was 9. He's not an Australian Citizen.
- My mother is Australian
- Parents weren't married when I was born, got married later on and then divorced.
- My grandparents on my dad's side were both born in the UK.
If I can apply for a British passport, it looks like it would be through descent on my fathers side, but I'm still not sure if I qualify because my parents weren't married when I was born.
Has anyone here gone through this process before? How long did it take? What sort of documents did you need to provide? Even if you're aware of a service that can help go through the process with me as most of the websites I've looked at seem to go in roundabouts and I think it would be more helpful speaking to someone directly. If anyone can shed any light at all I would appreciate it as I need to start this process ASAP if it's possible.
