British Naturalisation is the way to obtain British citizenship for individuals who have resided lawfully and settled in the UK.
Although there is no requirement for residents in the UK to apply for a British passport, many will do so, reflecting their commitment to the UK as their home.
It is worth noting that British Nationality, unlike other immigration matters, is not an automatic right but a legal matter which is subject to approval or denial at the discretion of the Home Office. While the application form for naturalisation outlines certain criteria, the Home Office may still decide on a case-by-case basis.
This process is another way to obtain British Citizenship in the UK.
To apply for a British passport, you must demonstrate freedom from immigration time restrictions. This entails having Indefinite Leave to Remain in the UK (for non-EEA nationals) or Permanent Residence (for EEA Nationals). If you're not married to a British citizen, you must also show freedom from these restrictions for the past 12 months. This means having had ILR for at least 12 months or completing a continuous 5-year period for EEA nationals at least 12 months ago.
The naturalisation application also mandates meeting residency, language proficiency, and character requirements. These include being over 18, of sound mind, intending to live in the UK, demonstrating English proficiency, passing the 'Life in the UK' test, and proving good character.
To successfully apply for British nationality, you'll need to submit:
To complete the process of becoming a British national, you must attend a Citizenship Ceremony. Typically, this must be done within three months of receiving the Home Office's invitation, but due to COVID-19, this time frame has been extended.
Your local council arranges the ceremony, typically conducted in groups, though private ceremonies are available. The ceremony involves an oath of allegiance and a pledge to respect UK laws and freedoms. You'll receive your Certificate of British Citizenship and a welcome pack at its conclusion.
