Ceremony after Citizenship approval

[claraluh]

Hello everyone,

I’d like to know how long does one have to book a ceremony after receiving the approval email?
I’ve been following the processing times for citizenship and passport application, and we might be going on holiday just after my partner’s approval if everything goes as planned. The passport might not arrive on time for our flight, so we are considering booking the citizenship for after we come back, that might be around two months after approval. Is that going to be a problem?? (That’ll be around October/November).


Thanks in advance.

You must attend the ceremony within 3 months of the date of your approval advice.
See > https://www.gov.uk/citizenship-ceremonies
You can try and book a private ceremony if that service is offered - an additional fee will be charged by the council.

Make sure you book a ceremony as soon as you get your approval. Note that the council may not be able to offer many date, depending on their own schedule, so it is possible you may need to amend the trip.
