Free British Citizenship & UK Route Check

British family connection · Free initial screening

Looking for a nationality checking service? Start with free family screening

Answer six short questions for an initial indication of whether you may qualify for a British passport, may be able to register as a British citizen, or need your family history assessed. No payment, email address or documents are required to see this result.

This is a broad screening, not confirmation of entitlement. Your answers stay in this page and are not sent to LexMigrate when you check your result.

1. Where were you born? 2. When were you born? 3. What is your British family connection? 4. Was the parent you are relying on British when you were born? 5. How did that parent become British? 6. Is there an adoption or a previous British citizenship refusal?

If both parents are British, answer questions 4 and 5 about one parent consistently. If you only know about a grandparent, select the grandparent / not-applicable options.

What this free check does

A quick triage, not a full legal assessment.

The free route check is designed to point you in the right direction. It may help identify whether you should be looking at a UK immigration route, a nationality route, a passport route, a South African immigration route, or a paid assessment.

It does not confirm eligibility, replace legal advice, review documents or create an attorney-client relationship.

British nationality?

Free check or R49 checker?

Quick answers

Free UK Immigration Route Check FAQs

What is the Free UK Immigration Route Check?

The Free UK Immigration Route Check helps identify which UK immigration route may be relevant to your situation. It is a starting point for people who do not know whether they should be looking at a spouse visa, visitor visa, UK Ancestry, Skilled Worker, settlement, refusal options, or another route.

Who should use the Free UK Immigration Route Check?

Use the free route check if you are unsure which UK visa category applies, whether your facts fit a route, or whether you need a full paid assessment before taking action.

Does the Free UK Route Check confirm eligibility?

No. The free route check does not confirm eligibility or replace legal advice. It helps identify the most likely route or next step based on the information provided.

What information should I provide?

Provide your nationality, where you are applying from, your relationship or family link if relevant, your UK travel or immigration history, the outcome you want, and any refusal or deadline.

When should I pay for a formal assessment?

A formal assessment is usually needed when the facts are complex, documents must be checked, there has been a refusal, deadlines are involved, or the route depends on detailed legal or evidence analysis.

What is the difference between the free route check and the R49 British nationality checker?

The free route check is for broad UK immigration direction. The R49 British nationality checker is for people who want to explore whether they may already be British or may have a British nationality route through family history.
