Re: Do records exist of those who gave up citizenship?

2 people found this helpfulHello Ms. Moore,
At the National Archives we have records of citizenship renunciation but only until 1946. They are in Record Group 85, Records of the Immigration and Naturalization Service. A guide for these records is here.
Records after 1946 are still in the custody of the U.S. State Department. The only route you can take is to submit a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for citizenship case files. The State Department has this guide to help you compose such a request.
Thank you for submitting your question to the History Hub! Best of luck in your endeavor.
