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:
Year | Total Number of Certificates issued |
2006 to end Sept | 1,054 |
2005 | 1,451 |
2004 | 1,335 |
2003 | 1,664 |
2002 | 1,332 |
2001 | 1,012 |
2000 | 125 |
1999 | 412 |
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.
