When applying for British citizenship you need to prove your knowledge of life in the UK, as well as your English language ability. You will need to give original documented evidence of this with your application. You can do this in two ways, either by taking the Life in the UK Test or by taking combined English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) and citizenship classes.

For more information on the Life in the UK Test visit the Life in the UK Test website (www.lifeintheuktest.gov.uk) or telephone 0800 015 4245.

For information on ESOL courses contact the Learndirect helpline on 0800 100 900 or visit the Learndirect website (www.learndirect.co.uk).
