That I can understand because US citizens have to pay tax to the US government on worldwide earnings even if they don’t live there

I think the tax compliance before the actual renouncing was also several thousand

Annoying!

They know full well the question everyone wants the answer to, which is ‘if I have never applied for UK citizenship, I only have an Australian passport… how does the UK government know I’m British?’

The responses from the UK on this are bordering on misleading. The guy in the video talks about ‘you may be eligible for UK citizenship, go check out the website’. That’s *not* the question people want answered.

This seems like they're trying to get the policy to fit the situation. Not the other way around.

They could simply say… ‘no change, we have no idea if you’re British or not’.

As a dual citizen, I have now resigned myself to getting a British passport 25 years after the last one expired. Because it was so long ago, I'm starting from square one when applying but the best part so far is trying to find someone who meets their criteria for certifying my identity. They must have known me two years, not be related, must have an active passport themselves and be in a 'recognised profession'.

It even says if they are not the holder of a UK or Irish passport they may need to supply a copy of their passport as well. Just so they can identify me! I do have a few people I can approach but them being required to provide their passport details could be offputting to some people.

Yes its a PITA for sure.

I have always maintained any license/passport etc I have for as long as I can...even if I dont need it now...I may need it one day and its easier to renew than restart.
