What your naturalisation costs in total.

Set up your case: you immediately see your fixed price with civitas. and the official fees that apply anyway. Both shown separately, so you know what you are paying for.

All amounts come from the official fee rates and from our price list. What your authority sets in an individual case may differ.

Why these items are missing
Context

The same application on three routes

The authority fee applies in all three cases, it does not depend on who fills in the application. So what is being compared is only the cost of the preparation.

The law firm range is the classification from our pricing page; in an individual case it is higher. A law firm is the right choice where an appeal, discretion under section 8 StAG or previous convictions are involved. We expressly do not provide that.
