Citizenship ceremony

Types of ceremony

Group ceremony 

We can usually arrange for you to join a group ceremony within a few weeks. Citizenship Ceremonies are usually held in the Ceremony Room in Newham Town Hall, East Ham.

You should aim to be at the office about 15 minutes before the ceremony starts and bring your identification and Home Office letter with you. If you arrive after the ceremony starts you will not be allowed to join the ceremony and will need to re-book.  You can bring up to 2 guests with you when you attend your ceremony.
