One of the many community-facing roles undertaken by Nottinghamshire’s Deputy Lieutenants is attending Citizenship Ceremonies across the City and County on behalf of His Majesty The King.
Citizenship Ceremonies mark the final stage in the journey to becoming a British citizen. During the ceremony, applicants make an oath or affirmation of allegiance and a pledge to respect the rights, freedoms and laws of the United Kingdom before being presented with their Certificate of British Citizenship. These ceremonies celebrate the significance of becoming a British citizen and provide a warm welcome into local communities.
Deputy Lieutenants are honoured to represent The King at these events, offering congratulations to new citizens and welcoming them as members of their local community. Their attendance reflects the Crown’s commitment to recognising important milestones in people’s lives and celebrating the rich diversity that strengthens Nottinghamshire.
Citizenship Ceremonies take place regularly across Nottinghamshire and the City of Nottingham, providing an opportunity to recognise the contribution that new citizens make to our county and country.
