Travel between citizenship approval and ceremony

Post by citizenearth » Mon Feb 04, 2019 2:12 pm

Hi All,

I have received a call from the council that I have been approved for citizenship and the ceremony is after 2 weeks. I have 2 questions:
- Can I travel between now and the ceremony date using my travel document and BRP?
- when can I apply for a British passport? Is it on the same day of ceremony when I get the certificate?

Thanks

Travel is ok - apply for passport after ceremony (only then you are British).
This is just my opinion as a member of this forum and does not constitute immigration advice.
Please do not send me private messages asking for advice.

Thanks but I mean is it on the same day of ceremony that we get the certificate or few days later after they send it by post?

The certificate is physically handed over to you at the ceremony.

Thanks. That's good news. So I can apply the same night for a passport ;)
