Apply for citizenship if you have indefinite leave to remain or 'settled status'
After you’ve applied
You’ll usually get a decision within 6 months - some applications can take longer. If yours will take longer you’ll be told before 6 months have passed.
You’ll be told if you need to provide more information to help with your application.
If your circumstances change
You should contact UK Visas and Immigration (part of the Home Office) if your situation changes during your application (for example, you move house, get married or are arrested).

Attending a citizenship ceremony
You’ll need to attend a citizenship ceremony if your application is successful.
