After you’ve received your invitation letter
You must attend a ceremony within 3 months of getting your invitation letter.
You need to register your details first, then we'll contact you to tell you when the next ceremony will be available.
If you cannot attend within 3 months of getting your certificate, you can email the Home Office for an extension at Citizenship.Support@homeoffice.gov.uk
