Freedom of the City involves taking an oath of loyalty and the Roll is then signed, the right hand of friendship is extended and the certificate of freedom is received.

 
  Freemen of the Company may apply for Freedom of the City of London as follows:  
     
  Telephone the Clerk of the Chamberlain's Office in Guildhall (0207 332 3055) and advise him that you are Free of the Worshipful Company of International Bankers and wish to make an appointment to attend and be duly sworn.

 
  Take with you your birth certificate (it must be a "full" certificate which has the details of the exact place of birth and parents, not the "short" one.   Copies of the "full" certificate can be obtained from the Family Records Centre 0845 6037788) ; a fee of £25.00 and a copy of the Freedom Certificate of the Company, duly signed by the Master and Clerk.

You can attend the ceremony quietly on your own or with family and friends.
