Citizenship ceremonies in Hull

This page is for people becoming British citizens in Hull. A group ceremony is covered by your Home Office fee. A personal ceremony costs extra.

How you book

Wait for the Home Office letter, then contact the council by email or phone. Do this within 14 days of getting the letter. You must attend within 3 months.

  • Your approval letter from the Home Office
  • Photo ID, such as a passport, travel document or driving licence

Guests

A ceremony can hold up to 20 new citizens, plus their guests.

Private ceremonies and prices

Personal ceremonies are possible at extra cost. Check the council's ceremony page for the price.

Children under 18 who applied with you can come and get their certificate.

What happens at the ceremony

You make the oath or the affirmation of allegiance to the King, then the pledge to the United Kingdom. At the end you receive your certificate of British citizenship and a welcome pack. You become a British citizen at the ceremony, not before.
