Give up (renounce) British citizenship or nationality
Apply
Fill in the form online. You’ll usually be able to keep your documents while your application is being processed.
If you live in the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man or a British overseas territory, you have to apply in person or by post instead. Check which you can do with your governor’s office.
If you live elsewhere, you can apply by post. Avoid applying by post, especially if you need your documents back by a specific date.
