Leeds Council private ceremony

[Sajid29]

Hello everyone.

I hope someone will help me regarding my enquiry. I have citizenship ceremony booked on 14th March 2024 . My citizenship ceremony is in Leeds . I have send them an email as well regarding private ceremony but they didn't get back to me . They don't have a phone number as well . Any one have information if Leeds Council do private ceremony or not ? Thanks in advance.

Hi Everyone, I'm not sure if it's too late for the OP, but I'm writing this for future Leeds residents.
No phone call possible with the citizenship team.
For private ceremony email citizenship.reg.office@leeds.gov.uk,they reply within a day and tell you the dates. Once you confirm, they call you at the time you request to take the payment of 120 £ over the phone.
I found them very helpful. They told me I don't need the Atlas email and can go with my passport alone.
