Is the ROA application for yourself or for your mother?

It's for my mum she chose to go for ROA...is it possible to apply from Nigeria...?

..

Quick question please...
Can I apply for British roa online using visa4uk caus someone told me I will have to get somebody to help me apply from the UK then submit in Nigeria... I want to know how true this information is....
I await your kind response@ekpotek nd other gurus...

ekpotek:


1. Your mother is british by birth irrespective of the nationality of her parent
2. Good documents
3. Good. She should plan to go with her parents if invited for interview by British high commission
4. Very very Good evidence - she need to look for her parent British passports
5. The mum passport used in travelling back to Nigeria was British or Nigerian? If her name is on her mother British passport. That is it. End of discussion
6. Good

My advise is that your mother should rather apply for her adult British passport. Go online at www.gov.uk/overseas-passport and download the form. Fill, get a british citizen, Irish, EU, or US in Nigeria to counter sign. Post by DHL to the UK home office. The supporting document should be
1. Her Original birth certificate short and long
2. Parent British and Nigerian passports
3. Photo of her life in Nigeria and life in the UK if available, family photo with parent and siblings
4. Parent records of activity in the UK, Job, house address in the UK etc
5. Possible DNA test to proof paternity to her parents
6. Record of your mum activities in Nigeria - educational certificate, employments, etc
7. Original Marriage certificate if any
8. Original Birth certificate of all her children
9. Copies of data page of her current Nigerian passport. Please make sure you make a list of all original document submitted.

thanks for your response sir...I really appreciate it...thanks once again...

Thanks for your response sir...@ekpotek

-she has both the long and short birth certificate
-yes..her parents are still alive
-yes..her parents were British citizens with British passports but when they came back to Nigeria they didn't renew their British passports and kept using nigerian passports up till date...

Kindly help please@Mr justwise nd ekpotek
My mum was born in England nd her parents(my grandparents) relocated back to Nigeria while she was still young so she didn't have the chance to get her British passport...nd now she's planning on applying for ROA nd later apply for her British passport bt the problem is she does not know what documents to provide to show proof apart from her birth certificate... please can I know what supporting documents she needs to show proof of citizenship...
Thank you in advance...
