Naturalisation and Registration as a British Citizen

The Isle of Man Nationality Service deals with all naturalisation and registration applications for Isle of Man residents. The British Government is responsible for the laws covering British citizenship through the British Nationality Act 1981 (BNA) which applies to the Isle of Man.

Naturalisation allows someone to become a British citizen and obtain the same rights and privileges as someone who was born a British citizen.

Becoming a British citizen is a significant life event. Apart from allowing you to apply for a British passport, British citizenship gives you the opportunity to participate more fully in the life of your local community.

You may be eligible for naturalisation if you’ve lived in the United Kingdom (UK) or Islands for five years or more and meet the English language requirement. Alternatively, if you are married to a British citizen and have lived in the UK or Islands for three years or more and meet the English language requirement, you may also be eligible.

Criteria and qualifications

Applications for naturalisation or registration as a British citizen are considered under the provisions of the British Nationality Act 1981.

The decision is at the discretion of the Lieutenant Governor and is based on statutory criteria such as residence, language, knowledge of life in the UK and Islands and good character.

The requirements include – but are not limited to :

  • Meeting the required residential requirements for your application type
  • Satisfying the good character requirement
  • Satisfying the English speaking and listening requirements
  • Satisfying the knowledge of life in the United Kingdom and Islands requirement
  • Demonstrating that the applicant intends to have their home in the Isle of Man/British Isles

Knowledge of life in the UK and Islands

The citizenship test is based on the handbooks ‘Life in the United Kingdom’ and ‘Life in the Isle of Man’. It is otherwise known as the Life in the UK and Islands test.

Approved English language qualifications

You can prove your knowledge of the English language by having either:

  • an English qualification at B1 level or higher which is on the Home Office approved list
  • a degree taught or researched in English
