Citizenship ceremony question

[Mitonman2022]

Hello, and Apologies if this question been asked numerous times. I could not think of any specific key word to search about it.

I only received an invitation from local council that they have booked me a ceremony for citizenship, but I never received an approval email from home office. Can someone please advise whether I need approval email from home office for this ceremony or should the email that I received from local council will be sufficient?

Many thanks for your help.

If the council booked you in already then they have your certificate.
You will get the Home Office email in a few days - there have been posts where members got the email after the ceremony.
I'm sure someone can confirm - but you application has been approved if the council got your certificate.
Take your ID to the ceremony in any case.

You will receive the HO approval email. It happened to me as well. I received an email from the Council on Thursday 23rd of March about the ceremony. Only received the HO email yesterday the 27th of March.

Ok, thanks. I emailed citizenship support yesterday so hopefully someone get back, I don’t think there is anything else that I can do. I am booked for private citizenship ceremony on 3rd, hopefully home office approval will arrive before that, even if it does not arrive by then, I will go for my ceremony with council and see what happens.

Finally, email arrived as well today so it all appears to be fine for now until next hurdle comes.
