Sign Declaration of Allegiance after approval
Applicants whose naturalisation applications have been approved must sign the Declaration of Allegiance within six months of the approval date listed on form 035. Failure to do so will result in the application lapsing, requiring a new application to be submitted.
Any expired period of signing the “Declaration of Allegiance” will be considered as non-compliance. The application process would immediately lapse and an applicant for naturalisation would be required to lodge a new application.
