Resumption of Citizenship
Reclaim your Australian citizenship.
Overview
If you previously renounced or lost your Australian citizenship, you may be eligible to resume it. The resumption process under section 29 of the Australian Citizenship Act 2007 allows former citizens to regain their citizenship without going through the full conferral process. I assess your eligibility and handle the application.
