Citizenship by descent evidence of Australian

Australian Citizenship by Descent allows individuals born outside Australia to acquire citizenship if they have at least one Australian citizen parent at the time of birth. This pathway doesn't require applicants to live in Australia or meet residency requirements. To apply, you must provide evidence proving your parent's Australian citizenship status when you were born, along with birth certificates and identity documents. This process is particularly beneficial for children born overseas to Australian parents. Once approved, citizens by descent receive full citizenship rights, including an Australian passport, though some may need to meet additional requirements for certain benefits.
