Naturalisation

Apply for Naturalisation or Registration to become a British Citizen

Requirements for Naturalisation and Registration

An adult who wishes to become a British citizen must in most but not all cases apply for Naturalisation, whereas a child must in every case apply for Registration.

The requirements for Naturalisation and Registration are quite different. In the former case the applicant must show that they hold settlement and that they have lived lawfully in the UK for the required number of years, either five years or three years. They also have to show that they have not been outside the UK for too long during the qualifying period and that they are of good character. They must also in most cases pass an English language and Life in the UK test.

The requirements for Registration are not generally so onerous. In some cases the applicant has to show that they were born in the UK and that they have lived here for at least ten years but in other cases there is no requirement to show either of these things and it is not necessary in every case for the applicant to hold settlement when they apply. With children their situation is highly dependent on the parents’ situation, and it is possible for a child to apply for Registration by way of legal entitlement or by way of the Home Office’s discretion, and there is no strict or general rule about how long the child must have spent in the UK. So with children there is more flexibility.
