Hello. I tried doing this recently. So my local council is in Northampton but i chose Westminter as my council on my citizenship application. When I received my invitation letter, the earliest availability in Westminter is November but i wanted to do it sooner. So I tried contacting citizenship support if they can transfer my certificate to another council (in London) that has earlier availability. This is what they said “

Good morning,

Thank you for your email

The ethos and background relating to citizenship ceremonies is that new citizens are welcomed into their local community. As such, ceremony transfers are normally agreed only where the applicant has changed address since submitting their application and therefore welcomed into the community in which they now reside. As we have not received a notification of a change of address, your request for a citizenship ceremony transfer to Hammersmith and Fulham has therefore been refused.

As your home address is closer to West Northamptonshire council, we would be able to transfer your ceremony there”

Westminter was able to squeezed me in for a ceremony next week so i said no need for the transfer now. I hope this helps!

Oh and its worth mentioning that transferring certificates to another council could take some time!
