Citizenship Ceremonies
Temporary closure

Hastings Register Office has had to close due to water supply issue affecting the town centre.
If you have an appointment in Hastings today, we will contact you to re-arrange your appointment.
Water supply issue - St Leonards-on-Sea, East Sussex (southernwater.co.uk)
We apologise for any inconvenience.
All other register offices are unaffected by the water supply issue.
Changing nationality is a major turning point in someone’s life. To acknowledge this, people who are granted UK citizenship are required to attend a formal citizenship ceremony.
In order to obtain your citizenship, there is a legal requirement for you to make your oath of allegiance at a citizenship ceremony.
Applications for UK citizenship are handled by the Home Office (GOV.UK). The final part of the process is the citizenship ceremony.
You can have your ceremony how you want
- In private, at the time and place of your choice, with only your chosen friends and family present
- In a group ceremony along with other new citizens.
