UK Woman Arrested for Using Wigs to Fraudulently Take Citizenship Tests for 14 People

The 61-year-old suspect allegedly used disguises and fake documents to help applicants gain residency status illegally.

A 61-year-old woman from Enfield, North London, was arrested for allegedly completing UK citizenship tests for 14 individuals using wigs and disguises.
The Home Office claims the suspect carried out the fraudulent scheme between June 2022 and August 2023 at multiple test centers across the UK.
Authorities recovered false documents and an array of wigs during a raid on her home, which were allegedly used to evade detection.
The Life in the UK Test, required for residency or citizenship, assesses applicants' knowledge of British values, history, and society.
The Home Office emphasized the risks of such fraud, stating it could result in individuals being wrongly granted residency without proper vetting.
