Citizenship ceremonies
If you receive British citizenship, you must attend a ceremony within 3 months. This can either be a group or private ceremony.
What happens next
The Home Office will send us your citizenship certificate. We will contact you by email to book a ceremony at the main Guildhall.
We can only book a ceremony after we receive your citizenship certificate from the Home Office. You should wait until we contact you.
Private ceremonies
You can request a private ceremony to celebrate with your family and friends. We hold these in a small ceremony room. You can bring up to 8 guests.
Cost
A private ceremony costs £120.
If you need a ceremony within 2 working days of your request, you can ask for an express private ceremony. This costs £180 per person.
To add more people to your ceremony it costs an extra £40 per person. You do not have to pay for guests, only the people having the ceremony.
