Introduction
If your application for British citizenship is successful and you are aged 18 or over, you must attend a citizenship ceremony. This includes taking an oath or affirmation to the King and a pledge of loyalty to the United Kingdom.
Group ceremonies
We are now in a position to offer a modified citizenship ceremony.
- Ceremonies will be held every week on a Wednesday.
- Slots are typically available at 11am and 1pm
You will need to bring:
- your Home Office invitation letter,
- photo ID e.g. a passport or a biometric residency card
without the above you will not be able to collect your certificate.
Professional photos
During the group ceremonies professional photographers are present to take pictures of citizens. You will be able to purchase prints from them on the day, alternatively you can visit their website the day after the ceremony and purchase prints online:
Individual ceremonies
