Fees
The fee for British citizenship comprises of three elements:
- An application fee – This is non-refundable should the application be refused or you withdraw it. You should make sure you meet all the appropriate requirements before paying the fee
- Ceremony fee – This is paid by applicants who are required to attend a citizenship ceremony. It is refunded to applicants whose applications are refused or withdrawn
- Biometric enrolment fee
Please note only fully completed applications accompanied by the correct fee at the time of submission will be accepted.
Incomplete applications will be returned to you unprocessed, to allow you to resubmit providing the correct documentation. Any application fee paid will still be valid unless there has been an increase in fees in the intervening period in which case the difference will need to be paid at the time of re-submitting the completed application.
