British Citizenship and Naturalisation
If you're eligible to apply for British citizenship, we help you put together an application that reflects your history accurately and completely.
This is for you if you hold indefinite leave to remain, or settled status as an EEA or Swiss national, and want to understand whether you're ready to apply for British citizenship.
What We DoChecking eligibility before you apply
We review your residence history and immigration record against the naturalisation requirements, including the good character and continuous residence requirements, and prepare your application. If anything in your history could complicate the application, we address it before submission rather than after a refusal.
What it costs to get started
Your consultation fee is fixed and confirmed upfront. Following the consultation, we will confirm the scope of work and the applicable fee before you decide whether to instruct us.
Frequently asked questions
What is naturalisation?
Naturalisation is the main way an adult becomes a British citizen, usually after holding indefinite leave to remain, or settled status as an EEA or Swiss national, for a qualifying period.
Do I need to pass the Life in the UK test?
Most applicants between 18 and 65 need to pass the Life in the UK test and meet an English language requirement, unless an exemption applies to their circumstances.
What does the good character requirement involve?
Applicants must meet a good character requirement, which the Home Office assesses against personal history, including matters such as criminal records and immigration compliance.
Can children acquire British citizenship differently?
Some children can acquire or register for British citizenship through routes that differ from adult naturalisation, depending on their parents' status and their own circumstances.
What happens if an application is refused?
We review the reasons given and advise on whether a fresh application, or another form of challenge, is the right next step.
