British Citizenship by Naturalisation
As a Spouse or a Civil Partner
of a British Citizen
You can apply to naturalise as a British citizen if you are married to a British Citizen and you have Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) in the UK.
When applying under section 6(2) of the British Nationality Act 1981, the applicant is not required to wait 12 months after the grant of ILR before applying for British Citizenship. An application for British Citizenship can be made soon after the grant of ILR if your spouse is British Citizen.
