Citizenship ceremonies

Arrange your ceremony

Citizenship ceremonies in the Rochdale borough take place at the Register Office in Number One Riverside, Smith Street, Rochdale OL16 1XU. Find Number One Riverside on Google Maps

We usually hold our group ceremonies every 4 weeks on a Thursday morning.

Adults

For adults aged 18 and over: 

  1. Once the Home Office has approved your application for British Citizenship, they'll send your details to us automatically.
  2. When we receive your details, we'll write to you to offer you the earliest date and time for you to attend a group citizenship ceremony.
  3. If you can attend on this day, you don't have to do anything - your ceremony is booked. If you can't attend on this day, please ring us using the contact details on this page to re-arrange.

Under 18s

Children aged 17 and under don't need to attend a ceremony to become a British Citizen so we won't arrange one for them automatically.

If you would like your child to attend a ceremony anyway, you'll need to ring us using the contact details on this page.
