Questions about the naturalization certificate after the virtual naturalization ceremony?

Post by iceman809 » Mon Jul 19, 2021 11:40 pm

I have two questions:
1#. I saw GOV’s official website stating "If you attend a virtual ceremony, you'll be sent a copy of the certificate afterwards." Can it be understood that it will be receive after participating in the virtual naturalization ceremony to my Email with the copy of the naturalization certificate, the original will be Mailed to my address afterwards?
2#. My child applied with me is 10 years old and she does not participate in the naturalization ceremony. Will her naturalization certificate be sent to my address with mine?

The naturalisation certificate is printed by the Home Office on watermarked paper and so is not emailed to you. Because it makes it difficult to verify it later on, it is best not to laminate it.

And keep in mind that that will be the only proof that you will have of your British citizenship (there is no central database of British citizens), which you and your children may have to prove in the future. So keep it safe.

Your child will receive a registration certificate. The date of the certificate is the date your child became a British citizen. You will receive a naturalisation certificate. You became a British citizen on the date of the ceremony.
