Expert Legal Support for Becoming a British Citizen

British citizenship is a significant milestone that provides long-term security, full rights in the UK, and the ability to apply for a British passport. At LexHavenLaw, our experienced immigration solicitors provide clear and reliable legal guidance to help you navigate the citizenship application process with confidence.

Whether you are applying through settlement, marriage, or another qualifying route, we ensure your application is prepared accurately and in line with Home Office requirements.

What Is British Citizenship?

British citizenship grants you the right to live and work permanently in the UK without immigration restrictions. It also allows you to vote, access public services, and hold a British passport.

Most applicants apply for citizenship through naturalisation, following a period of lawful residence in the UK.

Who Can Apply for British Citizenship?

You may be eligible to apply if you:

• Hold Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) or settled status

• Have lived lawfully in the UK for the required qualifying period

• Meet the residency and absence requirements

• Meet the good character requirement

• Have passed the Life in the UK Test

• Meet the English language requirement

Eligibility requirements differ depending on whether you are married to a British citizen or applying independently.

Routes to British Citizenship

Naturalisation
