In total, 19 dual nationals were stripped of their French passports in 2025, according to figures published in the police gazette l'Essor de la gendarmerie. The process followed convictions in the French courts, all for terrorism-related offences. The figures represent a fall on the previous year, when 41 people had their French passports removed. In 2023, 11 dual nationals lost their French citizenship, in 2022 six did, and four each in 2021 and 2020.

A couple who rented out their French apartment on Airbnb have been ordered to pay €12,500 to their neighbours, even though there was no specific ban in the building's regulations.
