Please does anyone have any information about Westminster but I was specifically told by a lady in the register office in Westminster that it virtual ceremony and that it’s free
Private citizenship ceremonies are currently being offered virtually through Zoom and not in a face-to-face setting. If you would like to make a booking for a virtual private citizenship ceremony, you can request this by emailing your name, home office reference number and mobile number to our team at citizenshipceremonies@westminster.gov.uk.
A member of the team will then contact you to book a virtual private citizenship ceremony. Prior to the virtual private citizenship ceremony you will receive the Zoom ceremony meeting link to access on the day.
Alhamdulillah done my ceremony today. It was exactly same as you said Jasmine. Just downloaded the app and clicked on the link 5 mins before the ceremony started. And the person allowed me to join the group video call. Took only 10 mins. Tue certificate would be arrived friday.jasmine89 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 02, 2021 7:32 pmYes the the link in the email which says join the meeting. When you click on it it should take you straight to the app. Join as a guest. Type your full name in the joining box (you get that once you click join as guest) and i think you can join the meeting 4-5 mins before you will just be in waiting and then at the appointment time they will allow you access in the room. It is best to join a few minutes earlier. Best of luck.Gard wrote: ↑Tue Feb 02, 2021 3:41 pmOne more question jasmine. Did you mean the link where it says join the meeting, and after clicking that link do I have to join as a guest or do I have to enter anything else? Also at what time I should click on the link? How long before the meeting I mean.jasmine89 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 02, 2021 2:41 pmHi syed.
Thank God the process is finally completed:). It was very straight forward. Download the app on your tablet or phone. Click on the link in email and it will take you to the meeting. They will ask you to show them your ID and invitation letter. Once the ceremony is concluded they will send out the certificates by post. You will most likely receive it next week. Best of luck to everyone who is waiting.
Pleased to know that you have done yours, mine is tomorrow and I'm confused![]()
i am sure it will go smoothly. Keep your invitation letter and ID with you as well when you join.

Hi - I did my ceremony on 01/02/2021 - Monday with Manchester (virtually). Got a call from xxxxxxx from Manchester council next day- (he was the guy who did my ceremony). He said the registrar will sign the first batch of certificates on Thursday and will be posted the same day. So if it is special delivery, we should get them on Friday 05/02/2021.jasmine89 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 03, 2021 3:36 pmHi syed. That is amazing news. Really happy for you.

Hello jasmin. Thank you so much. Yes the person told us specifically that our certificate will arrive on friday with special delivery. I think you will get tomorrow. So after receiving the certificate we have to cut off the Biomatric card and send it to home office. I will apply for the passport straightway.jasmine89 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 03, 2021 3:36 pmHi syed.

Virtual private ceremony is it 1 to 1 .....?
In person - Group and private ceremony available at LBBD but you cannot get access to the registrar through the phone unless you have collected your invitation letter and send them your details through email or filling the online enquiry form.keenmd wrote: ↑Thu Feb 04, 2021 5:46 amHi!
