What's included in citizenship records? Citizenship records include information such as:
- date of arrival in Australia
- ship or flight travelled on
- town and country of birth
- names of other family members
- education
- profession
- address in Australia at the time of naturalisation
"The National Archives holds Commonwealth naturalisation and citizenship records from 1904 onwards. We also have naturalisation records for the Colony of Victoria from 1848 to 1903 and the Province of South Australia before 1904. We hold two main types of citizenship records:
- naturalisation certificates (up to 1962)
- naturalisation case files
Case files give more detail than certificates. They include:
- the citizenship application
- the oath of allegiance
- other documents
To find citizenship records:
