LHIB advises that a citizenship ceremony is scheduled to take place on Wednesday 17 September 2025.

Please note that participation in a citizenship ceremony is a mandatory requirement for the conferral of Australian citizenship.

Community members who intend to undertake the Australian citizenship test, or who have already completed the process and wish to participate in this year’s ceremony, are kindly requested to contact the Administration Office of the Lord Howe Island Board no later than 30 June 2025 to assist with planning arrangements.

Citizenship ceremonies on Lord Howe Island are scheduled based on community demand. Late applications are not guaranteed to be included in the upcoming ceremony and may need to be deferred to the next available ceremony.
