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
Standard Private Ceremony: £120
Express Private Ceremony (within 2 working days): £180
Saturday Private Ceremony: £180
The cost shown is for one adult citizen. Additional adults can be added to the ceremony at a cost of £40 per person.
You do not need to pay for guests to attend, only the citizens receiving a naturalisation certificate.
Express and Saturday ceremonies are subject to availability.
Commemorative Citizenship Certificates
Commemorative Citizenship Certificates are beautifully designed keepsakes to celebrate your journey to becoming a British Citizen.
Unlike your Certificate of Naturalisation, which cannot be laminated and must be kept safe, these certificates are for commemorative purposes only, are not legal documents and can be framed and displayed in your home.
