Was he born before 1st January 1983?
If so:

In most cases you’re a British citizen

There are only 2 cases when you won’t be a British citizen:

    your father was a diplomat working for a non-UK country
    your father was ‘an enemy alien in occupation’ - this only applies to people born in the Channel Islands during World War 2

Probably best to use this service?
