What happens at a citizenship ceremony?
- Candidates are interviewed by a government official
- Candidates take a test on British history and values
- New citizens are welcomed by the local MP and receive a welcome pack
- New citizens make an oath or affirmation of allegiance and a pledge, and receive their certificate of British citizenship
Why this is the correct answer
Citizenship ceremonies are organised by local councils and are attended by family and friends. New citizens make an oath of allegiance (or an affirmation, if they prefer not to swear by God) and a pledge to respect the rights, freedoms and laws of the UK, after which they receive their certificate of British citizenship and officially become British citizens.
