Naturalisation and registration applications look simple and are refused surprisingly often: residence miscalculations, good character issues left unexplained, wrong referees. We make sure the final step of your journey is the smoothest.
Basic requirements
Every case turns on its own facts — these are the core requirements we assess at your consultation:
- Settled status — usually held for 12 months, unless married to a British citizen
- Residence requirements met, with absences within the limits
- Good character requirement — disclosed and explained properly
- Life in the UK test and English language requirements met
- Sound referees who meet the rules

Common questions
When can I apply after getting ILR?
Usually 12 months after ILR — immediately, if you are married to a British citizen — provided the residence requirements are met on the day you apply.
Will a past issue ruin my good character?
Not necessarily. Disclosure handled properly, with context and evidence, is almost always better than silence discovered later.
Can my children become British?
Children can often be registered — sometimes as of right, sometimes at discretion. Entitlements are easy to miss; our assessment finds them.
