Citizenship oath required if you live outside UK?

[greendaze5]

I live in Montreal, Canada, and am applying for my British passport for the 1st time (and hence citizenship; based on descent from a parent).

Anyways, if I'm successful, am I still required to take the Oath of Allegiance in a some sort of ceremony even though I'm outside the UK?

I'd be glad to of course, but am just curious as how this would be arranged.

Thanks!

U r a citizen already no oath needed!

If you apply through UKM and are successful, then you do need to take an oath. It can be done outside the UK.

(apparently you are not a British citizen already based on facts submitted up to now).

Thanks to everyone for replying.

No, I'm not a British citizen at the moment (hope to be) so I will need to take the oath as you say, if my application is successful.

greendaze,

where did you end up having your ceremony?
Very curious where Canadians have their ceremony as I will be doing the same!

Normally at a British consulate in Canada.
