Natives of British Protectorates, or of the territories of any Prince or State in India under the suzerainty of or in alliance with His Majesty, must produce a passport issued by His Majesty's representative in their own country, together with evidence of identity if the consular officer thinks necessary. A British subject possessed of double nationality is entitled to registration (even though he may not be entitled to protection) in his country of origin. A certificate of registration in the form of Annex 3 should be given on application to any person who is registered as a British subject or British-protected person on payment of fee No. 67. Where a person was registered before the issue of this circular, and the consular officer is unaware whether the claim to British nationality was properly investigated before the entry was made, the consular officer should obtain further evidence before the certificate is granted. In cases where the consular officer entertains doubt whether the applicant is entitled to registration, he should draw up a full statement of the facts, and refer the matter to the Secretary of State for instructions.
