Does a 16 year old child need to attend citizenship ceremony? Me, my wife and a child are attending ceremony next month. Is it ok if we can collect her certificate when we attend the ceremony?
Please advise.
Many thanks.

Children are not required to take a citizenship oath or affirmation, and the accompanying pledge, or to attend a ceremony. If you have reached the age of 18 by the time we have decided your application you will need to attend a ceremony even if you made your application as a child. If applications for children under the age of 18 have been made as part of a family group, they will be invited to attend the citizenship ceremony with their parents.
