new citizens
Freshly sworn residents
New citizens are people who have recently acquired citizenship in a country, typically through naturalization rather than birth.
The phrase often appears in civic contexts—naturalization ceremonies, voter registration drives, welcome programs: The mayor addressed the new citizens at the courthouse.
It carries a note of inclusion, marking the transition from immigrant or resident to full member of the political community.
