Which Australian Citizenship Pledge would you like to make?
Tick one only
Pledge 1 From this time forward, under God,
I pledge my loyalty to Australia and its people,
whose democratic beliefs I share,
whose rights and liberties I respect, and
whose laws I will uphold and obey.
Pledge 2 From this time forward,
I pledge my loyalty to Australia and its people,
whose democratic beliefs I share,
whose rights and liberties I respect, and
whose laws I will uphold and obey.

Fastest??
It's a personal choice whether you want to pledge your loyalty to Australia under God, or not under God. It has no impact on the 'speed' of your ceremony.

It is nothing to do with speed! It is simply a choice based on whether you believe in god or not.

Clearly the second one is fastest as the first one has two extra words. Hope this helps - every second counts!
