Woman Arrested for Using Wigs and Disguises to Cheat UK Citizenship Tests

Authorities allege the 61-year-old fraudulently completed tests for over a dozen individuals to secure immigration benefits.

A 61-year-old woman was arrested in Enfield, north London, on suspicion of fraudulently taking Life in the UK citizenship tests for at least 14 people.
The suspect allegedly used wigs, disguises, and doctored ID documents to impersonate both male and female applicants at multiple test centers across the UK.
The Home Office seized false documents and an array of wigs during a raid on the suspect's residence following a year-long investigation.
The Life in the UK Test is mandatory for individuals seeking indefinite leave to remain or naturalization as British citizens, assessing knowledge of British values, history, and society.
Authorities described the scheme as financially motivated and emphasized the potential risks of granting immigration rights without proper vetting.
