“Registration as a British Citizen can be a complex issue. There are various circumstances in which an Applicant may be entitled to either register as a British citizen, or already be British without knowing. For example, this could be due to a historical injustice, as nationality law has not always treated men and women equally. In addition, children of unmarried couples (or couples where the mother was married to someone other than the natural father) were historically treated differently to children of married couples.
The legislation in this area is complex and it can be difficult to obtain the relevant documentation to support an application. Therefore, legal advice should be sought when preparing an application.
The legal team at OTB Legal have significant experience in gaining successful outcomes for applicants seeking to register as British. If you think that you may be eligible to register as British, or may already be British, why not contact us to discuss your enquiry further?”

The best service and experience. 5***** and more!
When it came to working with OTB Legal, I can honestly say they were a breath of fresh air! Neha went above and beyond for us, and kept us updated every step of the way. She made us feel like she really cared about our situation and was invested in it with us to try and help. Which I believe really shows you when somebody loves what they do. She provided fantastic advice and solutions.

Beatriz
Professional, accurate, organised, consistent and approachable
My children and I are now residents in UK. We received our ILR after Emma Cohen helped us with all our applications and did it brilliantly.
I can’t thank Emma and OTB legal enough for their service. Emma is very professional, accurate, organised, consistent and approachable. Everything was done in a timely manner which meant less stress for us. Emma managed every single requirement that we had to provide and the progress for each item to be completed.
Wil
Truly Exceeded Our Expectations!
My partner and I faced significant challenges with our UK visa application due to our status as a couple in a country where homosexuality is illegal. Despite the odds stacked against us, Emma’s expertise and unwavering support made the impossible possible. Her meticulous guidance and insightful advice navigated us through the complexities of the immigration process, ultimately resulting in a successful outcome. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in need of immigration assistance.
Chloe
Citizenship by discretion thanks to persistent professionalism
Emma came highly recommended to us and certainly worked incredibly hard on our case and my son got his citizenship by discretion. Thanks to her tenacious approach, her persistence in dotting the i’s and crossing the ts; I have a very proud now-British son! On a personal level, I have my human rights back and we can travel away from this country so that I am able to find work again. Emma made this all possible, in an amazingly short time.
Ed
Best Immigration Solicitor I have worked with so far!
Mark has given me clear advice, was very professional and had excellent communication during the whole process. I had 2 applications with him and both results were positive. I will be working with him on my future applications.
Jim Richardson
I was very impressed with their comprehensive understanding of Home Office systems and procedures
I worked closely with OTB Legal who were helping a multi-national company carry out a sponsor licence compliance audit. I was very impressed with their comprehensive understanding of Home Office systems and procedures. More importantly, they were very easy to work with and struck an excellent balance between the constraints of the rules and pragmatism.
Maggie
Lydia was incredibly efficient and easy to work with
Lydia was incredibly efficient and easy to work with and I will be recommending her to anyone else that needs help with this process in the future. My visa not only came with the result that I wanted, it was approved in a much quicker time than I would have ever expected and it’s all thanks to Lydia! She is an asset to any team and OTB is very lucky to have her 🙂 Thanks Lydia and OTB!
