In the county of Kent citizenship ceremonies are provided by Kent County Council. http://www.kent.gov.uk/births-ceremonies-and-deaths/other-ceremonies/citizenship-ceremony KCC Libraries, Registration & Archives unit requires a professional photographer to be present at each Citizenship ceremony, (which will take place at Oakwood House, Maidstone ME16 8AE) to give new Citizens the opportunity to obtain a souvenir photo from the event.
