Withdrawal of your citizenship (deprivation)

We may withdraw your British citizenship if it is found to have been obtained by fraud, false statements or concealing facts that would have affected our decision. This is known as deprivation of citizenship.

We may also withdraw your of British citizenship if, in our opinion, it would be in the public interest for us to do so and you would not be made stateless as a result of us withdrawing British citizenship.

Further information on withdrawal of British citizenship can be found in chapter 55 of the nationality instructions.
