What is the "Life in the UK" test?
If you are applying for naturalisation as a British Citizen, you will need to show that you know about life in the UK. You should take the test if you are applying for naturalisation as a British Citizen and your level of English is ESOL Entry 3 or above.
If you pass the test, you are given a letter which proves you have been successful. This is called your pass notification letter. You will need to bring your pass notification letter to your appointment.
For more information, visit www.lifeintheuktest.gov.uk or telephone 0800 015 4245.
If your level of English is lower than ESOL Entry 3 and you wish to apply for naturalisation, you will need to attend combined English language (ESOL) and citizenship classes instead. Classes will run at your local further education or community college.
