The Home Office publishes information on British Citizenship in the Immigration system statistics quarterly release - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk), including annual figures on granted and refused renunciations of British nationality (see Table Cit_05 of the Citizenship data tables).

Information is available up to 2023. Data for 2024 is due to be published in May 2025. Details on future Home Office statistical release dates can be found in the ‘Research and statistics calendar’.
