Home / Citizenship by Investment / Grenada / Citizenship renunciation
Any Grenadian citizen aged 18 or over who is, or is about to become, a citizen of another country may renounce by a witnessed declaration on the Seventh Schedule form, and ceases to be a citizen when the Minister registers it.
Requirements and processMCP
The short answer
Yes. Under section 10 of Grenada's Citizenship Act (Chapter 54), a citizen aged 18 or over and of full capacity who is, or is about to become, a citizen of another country may renounce Grenadian citizenship by a declaration on the Seventh Schedule form, signed before a Justice of the Peace, Notary Public or similar official. The declaration is sent to the Minister responsible for citizenship in St George's, and you cease to be a citizen when it is registered. The prescribed registration fee is XCD 250, last stated officially in June 2017. No official processing time is published.
Information, not legal or tax advice. Statute text verified on 11 November 2026 against the Parliament of Grenada's copy of the Citizenship Act, Chapter 54, and its Regulations. The government fee is the one in the fee schedule as replaced in 2012 and repeated in the June 2017 instructions of Grenada's missions.
Eligibility and pre-checks
The legal test is short. The practical checks are where files go wrong, so Mirabello Consultancy runs them before anything is signed.
Documents
Process
Renouncing Grenadian citizenship is a filing by post to St George's: a declaration in duplicate, supporting documents and the fee. One dedicated contact manages the file from first call to registration.
Fees
Renouncing Grenadian citizenship carries one prescribed government fee: XCD 250 for registration of the declaration of renunciation, set by the fee schedule to the Grenada Citizenship Regulations. The most recent official statement of the amount is dated June 2017, so we confirm it at filing, pay it on your behalf at cost and send you the proof of payment.

Remote or in person
The official instructions describe a filing by post and name no step that takes place in person in Grenada. The declaration is signed before a Justice of the Peace, Commissioner of Affidavits, Notary Public or an official of similar standing, and the originals are forwarded to St George's. The instructions, published by the Embassy of Grenada in Washington DC and the Consulate General in Miami, do not state that a mission accepts or registers the declaration itself, so we confirm the filing route for each file and send the originals by secure courier.
After renunciation
Data protection
Your documents travel through secure channels and are shared only with the Ministry in St George's, Grenada's missions, notaries and couriers, as each step requires. We keep records only as long as regulation and our engagement terms require.
Questions
Yes, or you must be about to acquire one. Section 10(1) of the Citizenship Act applies to a citizen who is, or is about to become, a citizen of another country, and the declaration names that country. The section contains no rule that restores Grenadian citizenship if the other nationality is not acquired afterwards.
The prescribed government fee is XCD 250 for registration of the declaration, under the fee schedule to the Grenada Citizenship Regulations. The most recent official statement of the amount is the missions' instruction sheet of June 2017, so it is confirmed at filing. Our professional fee is fixed and quoted in writing.
No official processing time is published in the Act, the Regulations or the missions' instructions. Your citizenship ends on the day the Minister registers the declaration, not on the day you sign. Mirabello confirms the current practice for each file.
The June 2017 instructions published by the Embassy of Grenada in Washington DC and the Consulate General in Miami direct applicants to forward the forms, documents and postal order to the Office of the Prime Minister, Ministry of Home Affairs, in St George's. They do not state that a mission accepts the declaration itself. The declaration can be signed before a Notary Public or an official of similar standing, and the file travels by post.
There is a route, but no entitlement. Under the Aliens (Naturalisation) (Special Circumstances) Regulations the Minister may grant a certificate of naturalisation to a person of good character who was a citizen of Grenada and renounced. The application is made in writing with six passport photographs and three specimen signatures, and the decision is discretionary.
The official sources are silent. The Grenada Citizenship by Investment Act, 2013, as enacted, contains no provision on renunciation and none on recovering an investment or contribution after a voluntary renunciation. Section 10 of the Citizenship Act applies to every citizen in the same way, however citizenship was acquired.
The law does not say so. Section 10 and regulation 9 cover a citizen of full age and capacity making his or her own declaration; they state no effect on a spouse or minor children and provide no declaration on behalf of a minor. Each adult citizen who wishes to renounce makes a separate declaration.
The official instructions do not list the passport among the documents to send and do not state whether it must be surrendered, so we confirm this for each file. Once the declaration is registered you are no longer a citizen and travel on your other passport. E-2 eligibility depends on holding Grenadian nationality.
