When is my citizenship ceremony?
Once your application is approved, your name is placed on a waiting list for a ceremony. We conduct ceremonies on behalf of the Department of Home Affairs, but we do not have access to information about your ceremony date.
You will receive an invitation letter from the Department of Home Affairs about 4 weeks before your ceremony. This letter contains all details about your ceremony including the time, date and location.
To confirm the date of your scheduled citizenship ceremony, please call the Department of Home Affairs on 131 880 from Monday to Friday, 8.30am to 4.30pm.
If you need to attend a ceremony urgently, contact the Department on 131 880 and they may be able to assist.
Proud to support patrons with hidden disabilities
The Clocktower Centre is proud to support patrons with hidden disabilities and is a member of the international Hidden Disabilities Sunflower program. We are committed to fostering an inclusive and welcoming environment for all attendees at our Citizenship Ceremonies.
Our team is available to support patrons and help ensure you have a positive experience. If you wear a Hidden Disabilities Sunflower lanyard, badge, or other identifier, it lets our staff know that you may require additional assistance, support, or understanding during the ceremony.
