You’ll be invited to book a place at a citizenship ceremony if your application for British Citizenship is successful and you’re over 18. You will receive an invitation letter from Worcestershire County Council’s Registration Service inviting you to our next Citizenship Ceremony.
 

As soon as Worcestershire County Council's Registration Service receives notification that an applicant has been successful, the applicant is contacted by letter and asked to complete a questionnaire.

The purpose of the questionnaire is to establish further details, such as whether the applicant wishes to swear or affirm the oath and whether any guests will be attending the ceremony. The applicant will be given a choice of two ceremony dates.
 

Worcestershire County Council is responsible for organising ceremonies for successful applicants living in the County. There is usually one ceremony per month and the venue is the Council Chamber at County Hall (Google map).

Individual Ceremonies are also available for those unable to attend the date scheduled.

The ceremony begins with a welcoming speech, and the applicants then swear or affirm the oath of allegiance to His Majesty the King and give a pledge of loyalty to the United Kingdom before being presented with their citizenship certificates.

The presentation of the certificate marks the point at which British citizenship is conferred.
