those applying for british citizenship in the channel islands and isle of man (where the application is mainly based on residence in the crown dependencies rather than the uk) do not have to sit the life in the uk test. in the isle of man, there is a life in the isle of man test, consisting of certain questions taken from the life in the uk test syllabus and certain questions taken from a separate syllabus relating to matters specific to the isle of man. in due course it is expected that regulations will be introduced to that effect in the channel islands. the provisions for proving knowledge of english, welsh or scottish gaelic remain unchanged until that date for applicants in the crown dependencies. in the rare cases where an applicant is able to apply for naturalisation from outside the united kingdom, a paper version of the "life in the uk test" may be available at a british diplomatic mission.
