Definition of Nationality

The character or quality arising from membership of some particular nation or State, which determines the political status and allegiance of a person. It may be acquired either by birth or naturalization (q.v.). The following are natural-born British subjects: Any person (a) born within His Majesty’s dominions and allegiance; (b) born out of His Majesty’s dominions (1) whose father was at that time a British subject born within His Majesty’s allegiance, or naturalized or in the service of the Crown, or (2) whose birth was registered at a British consulate within one year (exceptionally, two years) of its occurrence.
