Question
what is the difference between having a british passport and being a british citizen? I am applying for a British passport, and am curious to know the difference. I live in Australia, and my mothier is British.
I'm sorry, but my expertise is in travel/tourism to London and the UK, rather than immigration issues. However, you might look here:
http://www.passport.gov.uk
as a starting place to get the answer to your question. That site has a "FAQ" section and a way for you to submit questions to the agency.
I hope this is helpful.

I am an expert on family travel to London, England and the United Kingdom. I can provide practical, up-to-date advice and information for families planning to visit London. I have traveled to the city numerous times with my two children and have written a guidebook based on these experiences. The fourth edition of the guidebook—LET'S TAKE THE KIDS TO LONDON—is published by Roaring Forties Press (Berkeley CA). The book and eBook are available online from Amazon.com, BarnesAndNoble.com, Apple iBookstore, and other booksellers. My website is www.KidsToLondon.com. I enjoy helping fellow travelers and welcome questions from families and others visiting London.
