citizenship ceremonies
New national welcome
Citizenship ceremonies are formal events where immigrants take an oath of allegiance and officially become citizens of their new country.
The ceremonies typically involve swearing loyalty, receiving naturalization certificates, and sometimes singing the national anthem or reciting a pledge: My grandmother still tears up talking about her citizenship ceremony.
Most countries require attendance at such a ceremony to complete the naturalization process.
