Regulation 18 Fee for arranging a citizenship ceremony
In respect of a service to which article 4(2)(e) of the 2007 Order applies, namely the arrangement of a citizenship ceremony (including the administration of a citizenship oath and pledge at the ceremony), the fee to be paid for the provision of this service is £80.
The fee referred to in paragraph (1) shall be payable on submission of an application for registration or for naturalisation by an applicant who is required by section 42 of the 1981 Act to make a citizenship oath and pledge at a citizenship ceremony.
Where the fee referred to in paragraph (1) is paid in accordance with paragraph (2) and—
the Secretary of State refuses the application; or
the Secretary of State decides that the registration should be effected or the certificate of naturalisation should be granted, but disapplies the requirement to attend a citizenship ceremony because of the special circumstances of the case,
the fee paid in respect of the arrangement of a citizenship ceremony shall be refunded.
Where the fee referred to in paragraph (1) is to be paid in accordance with paragraph (2), and the fee is not paid in accordance with that paragraph, the Secretary of State will not consider the application for registration or naturalisation.
