Applying for British citizenship

If you are applying for British Citizenship, you can get help with completing your form at an East Sussex registration office.

For a fee our Nationality Checking Service will:

  • check that your application form is completed correctly
  • provide certified copies of original documents that need to be sent with your application so that you can keep the originals (for example, your birth certificate or passport)
  • send your application by secure post to the Home Office.

A fee is charged per application:

  • £55 for adults
  • £30 for under 18s.

This does not include the Home Office fee.

To book an appointment, contact a registration office.

Important note – this is not a fast-track service and we cannot provide any advice in relation to the content of your British citizenship application.
