Applying for my British passport?

Are you a British citizen??
If not then you do not qualify.

My mum is British.  I do qualify to get one but everywhere I go they seem to ask for more documents and everything takes so long to get here in Cape Town.

Hi Tyron - there are different rules depending on when you were born - what year were you born?

Hi Cynic

I was born 1975.

Hi Tyron,

The process is described in this UK Gov website.  What difficulties are you incurring that we can help you with?

I have most of the forms already. but am just worried that if they ask for something again like the last time and S.A. took 9 months to get it that i am going to have to start the process all over again.  As it is I lost R5000 (+/_ 300 pounds)

As Cynic said, the GOV website is very helpful for that sort of thing and they provide a lot of useful information. The process of a British person obtaining a British passport can also be difficult if you are suspected of a crime or if a court order stops you from having a British passport so I can imagine it is very hard for someone who isn't a British citizen to obtain one. Hopefully things go smoothly and you get things sorted soon!

Hi Tyron,

Then you seem to know what to do, it's the bureaucracy you are struggling with; I wish you the best of luck in your journey.
