Citizenship ceremonies in Luton
This page is for people becoming British citizens in Luton. The council books your group ceremony for you. Private ceremonies cost more at weekends.
How you book
Your three months start from the Home Office invitation. The Home Office informs the council, and the council sends you a date and time for a group ceremony it has booked. Get in touch only if you want another date or a private ceremony.
How often they run
Group ceremonies usually run on the last Wednesday of each month.

What to bring
- The approval letter or email you got from the Home Office

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.
