I’ve just started the process of excommunicating myself from the Catholic church.
I was baptized, had first communion, and reconciliation, but was never confirmed. Are you on the official church rolls if you were never confirmed? And can you be officially excommunicated/defected/unregistered if you were never confirmed?

I’d say you can in principle. Excommunication revokes the privileges of your baptism, not just your confirmation. It doesn’t only make you no longer a part of the church, it supposedly prevents you from communicating with God ever again.
If the church were to actually decide to excommunicate you (and frankly I have no idea how you’re going about causing this, as from their perspective it’s like walking into a Texas jail and demanding to be electrocuted) it would be a little silly of them to want to confirm you first.
