Closed Automatic British Citizenship application laws to be extended.

Closed on

An automatic claim to British citizenship should not only be determined by the fact that both parents were married to one another at the time, or that the child's father was on the birth certificate. Other things should be aloud to be taken into consideration such as a DNA test or a form of child support payments. These things should be aloud to be served and considered as a form of proof when applying for citizenship and or passport.
