British Citizenship (Naturalisation)
If you are over 18 and have been living here for the last five years (or three years if you are married to or a civil partner of a British citizen) you may be able to apply for naturalisation as a British citizen.
You must also be able to show that:
- You are of sound mind and of good character
- You intend to continue living in the UK
- You can communicate in English, Welsh or Scottish Gaelic
- You have passed the 'Life in the UK' test
- You can meet the residential requirements
Children under the age of 18 should register as a British Citizen. They may apply either by entitlement (ie: if the child has a right under British nationality law) or by discretion (which requires more robust evidence in support of their particular case). If they are over the age of 10 they must be able to show they are of good character.
