Everything you need to know about budgeting for your British citizenship application.

Yes. Most adults must also budget for the Life in the UK Test (£50) and a Secure English Language Test (SELT), which typically costs around £150. You may also incur costs for certified document translations or professional immigration advice.
No. The £130 citizenship ceremony fee only applies to adult applicants (aged 18 and over) who are being naturalised. Children applying for registration do not attend a ceremony and therefore do not pay this fee.
Fee waivers are generally not available for adult citizenship applications. However, children applying for registration may be eligible for a fee waiver if they meet specific financial hardship criteria set by the Home Office.
