In order to qualify as a British citizenship you need a British parent if you were born on or after 1.1.1983. If born before that you need to have been born in Britain or a crown colony and/or have a British parent. (There are various other categories of British passports, but they don't have the same status).

If he is a BRITISH CITIZEN, then you are British yourself by law and can contact the nearest British mission and ask them what documents you need to provide to get your British passport.
If your father is just of British ancestry though, the case will become totally different.

You can apply but you won't necessarily be given one. The rules changed for people born after 1983. If you live in the UK, contact the Passport Office for advice. If you live overseas, contact the British Embassy or High Commission in your country of residence.

It is very important that if you are a British Citizen born in the United Kingdom that you have a passport with the words 'European Union' on the cover, as Guernsey is not in the European Union and it will give you full rights as an EU citizen. It is probably best to discuss this at the issuing authority on Guernsey.
