Discover how to become a UK citizen and understand the requirements for applying for British citizenship.
Becoming a British citizen is a significant milestone in many people’s lives. This step provides a sense of belonging, security, and participation in the UK’s societal fabric. It gives access to a British passport, opening doors to travel opportunities worldwide.
Most individuals achieve British citizenship through a process known as naturalisation. We provide an in-depth look into the naturalisation process, guiding you through eligibility requirements, application procedures, and necessary documentation.

You must check with your country of origin to see if you can hold dual nationality, as some countries do not allow this. The UK will enable you to have multiple nationalities.
Before applying for British citizenship, it’s essential to understand the prerequisites. We unravel the basic requirements, from residency to English language proficiency and the ‘good character’ clause.
The UK nationality regulations vary and are not strictly connected to the UK immigration rules. Consequently, there are essentially two distinct sets of criteria to fulfil when submitting a UK Citizenship application, depending on whether you are married to a British national or not. We explore both below.
Suppose you are married to a British or Settled person when you apply for UK Citizenship. In that case, you are usually permitted to apply for British Citizenship immediately after being granted Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR), Settled Status or Permanent Residency.
The essential eligibility requirements to apply for Naturalisation as a British Citizen if married to a British national or Settled person are:
*If the number of days absent from the UK exceeds the requirements, there is potential for submission of a discretionary application whereby we submit comprehensive representations to the Home Office requesting that your application is approved. These applications are more complex, and the viability will vary depending on individual circumstances. Please get in touch to arrange a call with one of our nationality experts who will assess your circumstances and likelihood of success if you apply for UK Citizenship.
If you are not married to a British national or Settled person at the time you apply for British citizenship, the following requirements must be met:
*If the number of days absent from the UK exceeds the requirements, there is potential for submission of a discretionary application whereby we submit comprehensive representations to the Home Office requesting that your application is approved. These applications are more complex, and the viability will vary depending on individual circumstances. Please contact one of our nationality experts, who will assess the years before you submit your British Citizenship, your circumstances, and the likelihood of success if you apply for British Citizenship.
Application procedures can be complicated, but at Immtell, we simplify the process. This section breaks down the steps to becoming a British citizen, including the citizenship test and the application process’s costs.
If you meet the eligibility requirements, you may be able to apply for British Citizenship. The application process is typically as follows:
Complete an online application form, submit the form and pay the relevant government fee.
You'll need to book an appointment to attend an application centre to provide your biometrics (photograph and finger scans).
Upload your supporting documents to the government’s system.
At the allotted time, attend an appointment at an application centre in the UK.
The Home Office should process the application within six months.
If approved, you receive approval notification and an invitation to attend a British Citizenship ceremony, usually at a local authority office close to where you live. During the citizenship ceremony, you will receive your Certificate of Naturalisation as a British Citizen.
You are free to apply for your first British passport if you wish to.
