In truth, no ceremony is technically needed for the boy to now be required to fulfill the mitzvot; and the lavish ceremony that many people have these days to celebrate the bar mitzvah is a modern practice that didn't become popular until well into the 1900's. In the past, the boy would simply be called up to read from the Torah on his 13th birthday.

First, let's clarify what a bar mitzvah actually is. On a Jewish boy's 13th birthday he becomes a bar mitzvah, there is no ceremony necessary for this to happen, it's automatic. Now, when a boy becomes a bar mitzvah, one of the traditions is for him to publicly read from the Torah as this is a responsibility held by Jewish adults. However, any Jewish male who is not circumcised is not allowed to be the person who reads the Torah portion publicly. Therefore, if a Jewish boy is not circumcised, he cannot participate in the ceremony associated with becoming a bar mitzvah.
