The term 'relief of citizenship' is used in the Swiss Citizenship Act and in the EDAscout process. The term 'release' from Swiss citizenship is currently used in eVERA, but this will be changed at the next system update. In texts for the general public, English translators may also select a more appropriate noun (e.g. 'renunciation' of Swiss citizenship) or replace the noun with a verb structure to suit their context.
