Naturalisation: The process by which a claim is made to the possession of British citizenship. Persons are deemed to be British subjects if born in His Majesty's dominions, whether of British or of Foreign parents, or if children or grandchildren of natural-born British subjects, wherever born. The ordinary way of becoming a British subject is by fulfilling the requirements of the "Naturalisation Act, 1870."

The applicant must either have resided in the United Kingdom for a term of not less than five years, or have been in the service of the Crown for a similar period. He must also furnish evidence of his intention, when naturalised, either of residing in the United Kingdom, or of serving under the Crown. All applications for certificates of naturalisation should be addressed to the Secretary of State for the Home Department.[1]
