Records of the total number of naturalisation certificates issued by year have only been kept since 1999. The number of naturalisation certificates issued by year from 1999 to the end of September this year is as follows:

YearTotal Number of Certificates issued
2006 to end Sept1,054
20051,451
20041,335
20031,664
20021,332
20011,012
2000125
1999412

Records as to the nationality of the applicants are not compiled in such a way as to be able to provide details of the certificates of naturalisation issued each year by nationality without the disproportionate allocation of resources.
