Citizenship ceremonies

Under the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002 anyone who applies for British Citizenship must attend a citizenship ceremony. New citizens must take an oath or affirmation of allegiance to His Majesty the King and make a pledge of loyalty to the United Kingdom.

Citizenship ceremonies in Angus are normally held in the Canmore Room, Municipal Buildings, Forfar.
