Naturalisation certificate with no seal or stamp or signature?

Post by xyzzy » Fri Aug 09, 2024 2:32 pm

I recently got my naturalisation certificate. I notice it has no seal, stamp, or signature. Is this normal? It does have a handwritten date on it though.

That’s how it is - same on mine from 8 years ago.

From memory, it has a distinct watermark. Check it against a source of light.

Yes. I think watermarks are part of the Naturalisation and Registration certificates’ security features.

National Archives has historical certificates.

Google “uk naturalisation certificate sample” for images.
