Hi
my wife has received her invitation letter for ceremony that going to be held 16th Feb - this Thursday. However her naturalisation certificate haven't arrived yet.
Is that okay to go to ceremony without this certificate?
Thanks

Certificate are only given upon completion of Ceremony, which is when a person will officially become a British Citizen.
