∙ 15y agoNONE! Unlike the United States, we in England do not have an oath of duty to make as citizens of our country. Foreign nationals who wish to take out British nationality are nowadays required to attend simple short classes of 'citizenship training', but these are really just to make sure that they have a basic understanding of the British system of government and infrastructure than to bind them to any kind of moral alliegance. When you become a UK citizen (if your application is granted), you just do so, without having to swear any kind of duty. Britain does not have a written Constitution, it runs on the principle of expecting the best of it's citizens, and assuming that anybody worth their salt will not do anything to damage or jeopardise it's security or welfare. (Despite the various outrages to this ideal that have been perpetrated by certain terrorists who have also been UK citizens, this principle works well to a general extent).

How can you obtain British Citizenship as you were born a British Overseas Citizen?
In general, you cannot be born a British Overseas Citizen, as this is a residual category of citizenship created for those former Citizens of the United Kingdom and Colonies who were not eligible to become either a British Citizen or a British Dependent Territories Citizen after the passage of the British Nationality Act 1983. If you were born a British Dependent Territories Citizen (now call British Overseas Territories Citizen) then you are now also a British Citizen by virtue of the British Overseas Territories Act 2002. You don't need to do anything special to have British Citizenship in this case; it is automatic. However, if you are actually a British Overseas Citizen, you can either register as a British Citizen after living in the UK for 5 years and hold Indefinite Leave to Remain for at least 12 months prior to your registration application. If you are married to a British Citizen, you can apply for naturalization after living in the UK for 3 years. Finally, through the provisions of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002, a British Overseas Citizen who has no other citizenship has the right to register as a British Citizen.

If your Father is a British Citizen your birth makes you a British Citizen.?
If the birth is in the United Kingdom, then yes - automatically. If the birth is outside the United Kingdom and took place after 1 January 1983 and the father (or mother) is a British citizen other than by descent, then yes - automatically. Otherwise, you can become a British citizen by descent if your father (or mother) was a British citizen other than by descent by filling in an application form available at any British Embassy or High Commission and providing the appropriate documentation (usually the parent's British passport and a birth certificate for the child). Alternatively, if you want the child to be able to give British citizenship to their children, naturlization may be a better option but this is discretionary and usually requires 3-5 years residence in the UK. There has been discussion about changing these laws late in 2009.
