citizenship ceremony within the council chamber at the shire hall in warwick

A citizenship ceremony is the final part of becoming a British citizen. It is a legal requirement since 2004 and is a special way of celebrating new citizens.

Anyone who has successfully applied and is an adult age 18 or over must take part in a ceremony. Children under 18 do not have to attend a ceremony but are always welcome to be part of the process along with their family.  

Each adult will be required to swear or affirm an oath of allegiance to the King and make a pledge of loyalty to uphold the values and laws of the United Kingdom. An imperative part of the process.
