Description
British nationality checker South Africa: find out whether your British parents, grandparents or family history may point to a British nationality, citizenship or passport route.
Do you have a British parent, grandparent or other British family connection and want to know whether it may give you a route to British nationality, British citizenship or a British passport?
The LexMigrate British Nationality Results Checker is designed as an affordable first step.
For R49 once-off, you can complete our structured British nationality screening questionnaire and receive an initial indication of which part of your family history may require further investigation.
British nationality law is not based simply on whether someone in your family was British. Your position can depend on when and where you were born, when and where your parents and grandparents were born, how British nationality passed through previous generations, whether your parents were married, historic nationality legislation and whether a previous generation became British by birth, registration, naturalisation or descent.
This is why two people with apparently similar British ancestry can have completely different nationality outcomes.
What the checker considers
The checker asks questions about matters including:
- your date and place of birth;
- your mother’s nationality and place of birth;
- your father’s nationality and place of birth;
- British-born parents or grandparents;
- previous British passports or nationality documents in your family;
- whether you believe you may already be British;
- whether you are investigating citizenship or a first British passport;
- certain historic family circumstances that may require specialist nationality analysis.
Your answers are then used to provide an initial screening result.
What you receive
The R49 Results Checker is intended to help you understand whether your circumstances appear to justify taking the next step.
Your result may identify that:
- you may already have a British nationality connection that requires verification;
- a British passport route may need to be investigated;
- a British citizenship registration route may potentially be relevant;
- historic British nationality legislation may need to be considered;
- additional family documents are required before your position can be assessed; or
- your circumstances require a detailed professional nationality assessment.
Why LexMigrate uses a screening process
British nationality law spans decades of legislation and has changed substantially over time.
Claims involving British mothers, British fathers, unmarried parents, grandparents, former British territories and historic discrimination cannot safely be determined from one question such as:
“Was your grandparent British?”
LexMigrate therefore separates preliminary screening from a full nationality assessment.
The Results Checker is deliberately priced at R49 so that you can take an inexpensive first step before deciding whether you want to invest in a detailed nationality investigation.
What happens after your result?
If your result identifies a British nationality issue worth investigating, you will be shown the appropriate next step.
As LexMigrate develops its nationality platform, additional DIY evidence packs and route-specific products will also become available.
Where a matter requires individual legal analysis, documentary investigation or professional assistance, you will have the option of requesting assistance from LexMigrate separately.
Important disclaimer
The LexMigrate British Nationality Results Checker is a preliminary screening tool only.
It does not determine that you are a British citizen, guarantee that you qualify for British citizenship, confirm entitlement to a British passport or constitute a formal British nationality opinion.
British nationality law is highly fact-specific. A final assessment may depend on legislation applicable at the relevant time, documentary evidence, parental nationality status, marital status, historic nationality provisions and other circumstances not capable of being conclusively determined by an automated questionnaire.
The result therefore does not constitute legal advice and should not be relied upon when making immigration, nationality, travel or financial decisions.
Where necessary, LexMigrate may recommend a detailed nationality assessment before any application is made.
Price: R49 once-off.
