If you have been granted British citizenship, you must attend a citizenship ceremony within three months of approval being granted. This is a formal occasion to welcome you into your new community and to celebrate your new status as a British citizen.
During the ceremony, you will take an oath to His Majesty the King and a pledge of loyalty to the UK. You will also receive your certificate of British citizenship.
The ceremony is a special opportunity to mark your new beginning as a British citizen. It is also a chance to meet other new citizens and to learn more about your local community.
Once you have received your letter of approval from the Home Office, please contact Knowsley Register Office to find out which citizenship ceremony you can attend.
On the day of the ceremony you must bring your approval letter from the Home Office, the letter you receive from Knowsley Register Office and your photographic identification. Without these documents you may be refused admission to the ceremony.
Citizenship ceremonies are usually conducted in groups to highlight the community nature of citizenship. However, if you would like to have a more personal ceremony, Knowsley Registration Service can offer a private ceremony for a fee.
