Many immigrants plan to apply for British nationality or citizenship every year. You are given full rights to live, work, and travel as a UK citizen once you have obtained British citizenship. You have unrestricted access to the nation and can take advantage of the status that comes with such prestigious citizenship. 

There are various ways you can apply for British citizenship (also known as “naturalisation”) based on your situation. You can select which application method to use if you qualify in more than one way. Taking assistance from expert UK immigration solicitors will be the right step to getting your application approved.

What Paperwork is Necessary for British Citizenship?

You must submit a variety of documents to demonstrate your eligibility for citizenship when you apply for British Nationality.

You must supply details about your identity, your test results for Life in the UK and your English language proficiency.

The following documents are essential for obtaining British citizenship:

• You can use your passport, driver’s license, birth certificate, Home Office travel document, or even a credit card statement from the past six months as identification.
• Your biometric identification card (if you have one)
• Proof that you passed the Life in the UK exam
• Evidence of at least a B1 language proficiency in speaking, writing, listening, and reading (unless exempt)
• Information proving you were legitimately residing in the UK for the requisite amount of time
• Your absences from the UK during your qualifying period, including details
• A statement attesting to your present Indefinite Leave to Remain status
• You must include all required documentation with your application.

Your application could be turned down if you don’t comply.

How to apply for British citizenship by naturalization?

Foreign nationals who want to become full citizens of Great Britain and the United Kingdom must apply for British citizenship by naturalisation. No applicant is deemed to have the “right” to citizenship by virtue of satisfying the qualifications for naturalisation since they are established in the law; rather, all applications for naturalisation submitted to the government are evaluated on a discretionary basis. Although the prerequisites for naturalisation are clearly stated, each case will be evaluated on an individual basis.

If your birthplace was the UK

Despite being born in the UK, you do not acquire British citizenship instantly. It depends on your birthdate and the circumstances of your parents. You must confirm your citizenship in the United Kingdom.

If you were born in the UK but are not yet a British citizen, you might be able to apply for citizenship.

If you are married to or in a civil union with a citizen of the United Kingdom

You must have resided in the UK for the previous three years in order to apply as the spouse or civil partner of a British citizen.

You must also possess one of the following:

• Indefinite leave to remain(ILR)
• Settled status under the EU Settlement Scheme

You can often apply for indefinite leave to remain(ILR) if you have been in the UK for five years.

You must typically have resided in the UK for 12 months after receiving ILR in order to apply for citizenship with it.
