Hello! I am here trying to get some info for my bf
He was born in Taiwan 1990 to Taiwanese mom and British dad. Mom had household registration but not with dad. He wasn’t allowed citizenship at the time but we were hoping maybe something has changed this then. Does anyone know if citizenship can now be passed on to child through the mother? Dad is deceased now if that makes a difference. Thanks!
citizenship can now be passed on to child through the mother.

Yes. The law was changed in 2000 to allow it, and people born to Taiwanese mothers and foreign fathers between 1980 and 2000 became citizens retroactively.
Your boyfriend is a Taiwanese citizen. He just needs to provide documentation to prove it to the government.

Thank you for providing link!
Lucky for him! He can do it without military service! Just wait on the household registration until he is after the age limit
