naturalization ceremonies

Oath-taking civic events

Naturalization ceremonies are formal public events where immigrants officially become citizens of their new country.

In the United States, these ceremonies typically include taking the Oath of Allegiance, receiving a certificate of citizenship, and often feature speeches, flag presentations, and the singing of patriotic songs.

Hundreds of people from dozens of countries took part in the naturalization ceremony at the courthouse.

The ceremonies mark the culmination of a lengthy legal process and are often emotional occasions for new citizens and their families.
