United Kingdom - Passport & Nationality - Citizenship Report
Philip Gamble and his team offer a Citizenship Report service, where they undertake research into your family history and provide a definitive Yes/No answer into your claim to British Nationality. This research will include seeing copies of all the relevant documents and certificates that you can provide (like birth, marriage and death certificates, as well as old passports), and cross references this to old Nationality legislation that existed at the time.
You will receive a written report detailing the team's conclusions, and how and why you do (or don't) qualify for British Nationality. If you do qualify, you will also be guided as to your next steps - including how to make the application and what the further fees might be. A fee of £350 applies.

They provide one of five answers: - Definite, Likely, Unclear, Unlikely or Remote. Read more about this Status Trace.
