Marry me in Kensington and Chelsea
Citizenship ceremonies Any person who has applied for and been granted British Citizenship will be required to attend a citizenship ceremony where they will make their pledge of allegiance to His Majesty The King and the United Kingdom. At the completion of the ceremony, the new citizen will be presented with their ‘Certificate of Naturalisation’ allowing them to apply for their
British passport. For those who used the Joint Passport and Citizenship service, their passport will be dispatched directly by the Home Office the day after the citizenship ceremony, and usually will arrive to you within six weeks. There are two types of ceremony that you may choose from. A group ceremony which is held fortnightly at Kensington Town Hall for which
there is no charge; or a private ceremony which is held at Chelsea Old Town Hall upon special request. Private Citizenship ceremonies can usually be arranged at very short notice, often within a couple of days, for an additional fee.
