Why use a solicitor for this application?

As with most immigration matters, applying for British citizenship can be complicated and time consuming. Talk to one of our British citizenship solicitors on 020 7038 3980 about applying for British citizenship.

You can read a detailed guide on Naturalisation as a British citizen here.

If you’re looking to register a child as a British citizen, information about the process can be found here.

If you have applied for British citizenship but have been refused, one of our specialist lawyers can review your decision and advise on your ability to challenge the decision by administrative review or judicial review.

Making a mistake or omitting relevant information or evidence is one of the main reasons British citizenship applications are refused or delayed.

Whilst you can apply for British citizenship by yourself, working with a specialist British citizenship solicitor will ensure that you meet the requirements and that evidence is presented properly.

Questions clients ask

Before you book, the questions we hear most.

Anything else, just ask us.

When can I apply for British citizenship?

Most individuals can apply after holding Indefinite Leave to Remain or settled status for 12 months, provided they meet the residence and eligibility requirements.

Can children register as British citizens?

Yes. Children may be able to register as British citizens depending on their circumstances and their parents’ immigration status.

What happens if an application is refused?

If an application is refused, it may be possible to challenge the decision through administrative review or judicial review, depending on the circumstances.

Do I need a solicitor to apply?

While you can apply independently, working with an immigration solicitor helps ensure the application meets the legal requirements and supporting evidence is properly prepared.
