Introducing the test

Britain today

Becoming a British citizen is an important event in your life and is something that you can feel proud of.

Becoming settled in the UK is also an achievement. It is a significant step in your journey to citizenship and the Government encourages you to think about whether you want to make the further commitment of becoming a British Citizen. By passing the Life in the UK Test, you will also show that you have the knowledge of English and of UK life that you need for citizenship, so you do not need to take another test once you meet the other requirements for citizenship.

Britain is a country where people of many different cultures and faiths live. What brings British people together is that they listen to different points of view, they have respect for equal rights and they believe that community is important.
