Naturalisation |
|
Naturalisation is the way to earn British Citizenship if you do not have one.
If you are over 18 and have been living in the United Kingdom for the last five years (or three years if you are married to or a civil partner of a British citizen) you may be able to apply for naturalisation as a British Citizen.
You may also be able to apply for naturalisation if you or your husband, wife or civil partner is in crown or designated service outside the United Kingdom.
There are seven standard requirements you need to meet before you apply:
|
|
you are aged 18 or over; and
you are of sound mind; and
you intend to continue to live in the United Kingdom, or to continue in crown service, the service of an international organisation of which the United Kingdom is a member, or the service of a company or association established in the United Kingdom; and
you can communicate in English, Welsh or Scottish Gaelic to an acceptable degree; and
you have sufficient knowledge of life in the United Kingdom ; and
you are of good character; and
you meet the residential requirements
|
|
If you are married or a civil partner of a British Citizen, residential requirements you need to meet, are different.
If you like to apply or if you like to find out whether you are eligible to apply for naturalisation, please contact us.
