British Citizenship

[somebody]

Just to let you all know that my wife Louella and my step-daughter Mary Grace attended their British citizenship ceremony yesterday so are now British citizens. Although Mary Grace didn't have to legally, she decided that she wanted to do the oath thingy. Louella even filled in the electoral registration form so she will be able to vote for the first time next year. Then last night we went online and filled in the passport applications for them both. Just got to wait now for the forms to arrive, sign them and send them off.

Congrats to louella and Mary Grace. Good to read of a young citzen wanting to take part in such an important (i feel) ceremony sadly many when we went didn't bother it was all a bit of a chore for them

We do take the right to vote lightly and whoever Louella votes for or doesn't the important thing is she has the right to

I dont know where you are in relation to the nearest post office but the Wife went down to the local town centre post office and all of the counters even the currency exchange counters (which were not busy) had forms avaiable at the counters. I requested some blank forms to be sent and they never arrived in fact did it twice and on both occasions untill this moment months later i recieved nothing. So maybe worth if someone has the time to pop in and pick up a couple of forms

Im sure you did but dont forget to look at the spelling in the two passports and on the citzenship forms just in case they dont match.

Also worth researching where the three nearest passport interview offices are. The Wife ended up going to one which on the system is the third furtherest away but easier and nicer to go to

Once again well done to the two Ladies
