UK Government Sets £456 Fee for Citizenship Certificate Corrections

The United Kingdom government clarified the financial implications for correcting mistakes on citizenship documents, stating that individuals needing a replacement for a registration or naturalisation certificate, or corrections on an existing certificate, must pay a fee of £456 (about ₦836,525). This fee applies to those who obtained citizenship after September 30, 1986.

If a certificate is lost or damaged, the same fee is required for a replacement. Applicants whose mistakes are their fault must complete an online application form, with assistance available for those lacking internet access.

For residents of the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, or British overseas territories, applications must be submitted in person or by post. Additionally, if a certificate has been stolen, the police must be informed before any replacement action can be taken.
