Can I reclaim my citizenship?
If you have renounced your Irish citizenship, you can only reclaim it if you were born on the island of Ireland, by making a declaration of citizenship.
To renounce your Irish citizenship, you must have completed a declaration of alienage and submitted it to Immigration Service Delivery.

- Complete a declaration of citizenship Form
- Get your declaration witnessed (there’s a list of acceptable witnesses on your form)
- Submit your form to Immigration Service
