Private British Citizenship ceremony - URGENT

Post by submon » Sun Oct 14, 2018 10:55 am

Hi Guys,

I was wondering if any of you guys know if it is possible to arrange for a private British citizenship ceremony in the Wakefield, Leeds or Sheffield council.

I have been given November 21 for my public ceremony, but it is too late to go without having a passport as I may need to travel soon.

So I was wondering if anyone knows if private ceremonies are held and how much it costs.

Why not call them and ask about availability? :idea:

Also note that it is not as simple as simply changing location attending another council for a ceremony (mentioning as you state Wakefield Leeds and sheffield, which presumably are two different councils).

I know it's possible in leeds however you have to wait for a call back usually and it cost £150 so we didn't go ahead with it in the end

By the way, does anybody knows if the private ceremony is £150 for arranging the ceremony or it is for every person attending? Not very clear about that...

Private ceremony costs vary per council, it is not a generic set price. My understanding is that each person has to pay.

Private ceremony cost is per person, my council was charging £100 per person. They quoted £200 for myself and my wife.
