Naturalization Ceremonies

Naturalization ceremonies are formal events where individuals who have completed the legal process of becoming U.S. citizens are officially granted their citizenship. During the ceremony, applicants take the Oath of Allegiance, pledging loyalty to the United States, and receive their Certificate of Naturalization. These ceremonies symbolize the culmination of a lengthy immigration process, celebrating new citizens' rights and responsibilities. Often held with family, friends, and community members present, they emphasize national identity, unity, and the importance of civic participation in the country.
