Obtaining UK Passport

[bdsam]

As an Irish citizen, I understand I am entitled to UK citizenship since my grandfather was born in Co. Tyrone No. Ireland in 1897. How can I please go about this process?

The information you require is probably buried somewhere in this lot:

You don't have to do anything - you ARE a UK citizen (if your statement about your grandfather entitling you to it is correct - don't know if it's true or not.)

To apply for a UK passport you'll need to supply evidence of that citizenship - ie the appropriate birth certificates of all concerned.

British citizenship by descent is normally only passed through parents not grandparents...

dzug - you're wrong there...

The fact is that the state of Ireland was under British control at that time - all 32 counties - and if you think that makes us all British I'd challenge you to defend your position in any pub in the country...!
