Related questions

Can I keep my Indian passport after becoming British?

No. Indian law does not allow dual citizenship. You must surrender the Indian passport and obtain a surrender certificate, then apply for an OCI card if you want to visit, work or hold property in India without a visa.

What does naturalisation cost?

The Home Office fee for an adult naturalisation application is in the fee table of 8 April 2026 and in our fee calculator. Children registering pay a lower fee. There is no refund if refused.

How long does it take?

Most decisions arrive within 6 months, followed by a citizenship ceremony where you take the oath and receive the certificate.
