English language tests
From 1 November 2005 further requirements will be imposed on people seeking
naturalisation as British citizens. These requirements will include a test in
English of knowledge of life in the United Kingdom. The tests will not be taken
before a Notary Public. Therefore, it will no longer be necessary for Notaries
to test knowledge of the English language nor to certify fluency in English.
