Naturalization is the process of granting a foreign resident the rights, protections, privileges, and responsibilities of a '''British''' citizen (i.e. a citizen of the '''United Kingdom'''). An alternative to naturalization was denization, the process of granting a foreign resident a subject’s rights except the rights to inherit property or to hold public office. In general, denization or naturalization was granted only to adult males. | Naturalization is the process of granting a foreign resident the rights, protections, privileges, and responsibilities of a '''British''' citizen (i.e. a citizen of the '''United Kingdom''').
