## Can you renounce Grenada citizenship?

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.

## Which documents do you need to renounce?

### What you prepare

- Two original renunciation forms (the Seventh Schedule declaration), completed in duplicate and signed before a Justice of the Peace, Commissioner of Affidavits, Notary Public or an official of similar standing. We draft them for you.
- A certified copy of your birth certificate. If no name appears on it, a certified copy of the original baptismal certificate or affidavit.
- If you are a citizen through a Grenadian parent and were born outside Grenada after 7 February 1974: a certified copy of the parent's or parents' birth certificate.
- If you are married: a certified copy of the marriage certificate.
- If you are a citizen by naturalisation: the original citizenship certificate.
- Two certified passport-sized photographs.
- An International Postal Order payable to the Government of Grenada for the fee.

### What you receive

- A government-ready file, checked line by line before submission.
- Confirmation of dispatch and proof of payment of the government fee.
- Registration of your declaration, the point at which your citizenship ends.
- On request, an application for a certified copy of the registered declaration. The Regulations prescribe no separate certificate of renunciation fee.
- Drafted notification letters for banks, employers and other institutions.

## How do you renounce Grenada citizenship?

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.

- **Confidential consultation.** We confirm eligibility under section 10, your other citizenship and any family or residence implications.
- **Document checklist.** You receive a tailored checklist; you send scans, we check names, dates, certifications and photographs.
- **Declaration drafted and witnessed.** We prepare the Seventh Schedule form in duplicate, then arrange signing before a Justice of the Peace, Commissioner of Affidavits, Notary Public or an official of similar standing.
- **Fee.** The XCD 250 registration fee is paid by International Postal Order made payable to the Government of Grenada, as the missions' instructions set out.
- **Filing.** The postal order, the two original forms and the supporting documents are forwarded to the Office of the Prime Minister, Ministry of Home Affairs, The Carenage, St George's, the address given in the June 2017 instructions. We confirm the current filing office before dispatch.
- **Registration.** The Minister causes the declaration to be registered. From that moment you are no longer a citizen of Grenada.
- **Notifications.** We help you update banks, employers and immigration records, and you travel on your other passport.

## How much does it cost to renounce?

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.

| Fee | Amount | Notes | Source |  |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Registration of a declaration of renunciation of citizenship | **XCD 250** | Printed as $250.00 in the Regulations and as EC$250.00 in the June 2017 mission instructions; confirmed at filing. | [grenadaparliament.gd](https://grenadaparliament.gd/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/S.R.O.-19-0f-2012-Citizenship-Amend-Reg.pdf) · 11 November 2026 [grenadaparliament.gd](https://grenadaparliament.gd/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Cap54-CITIZENSHIP-ACT.pdf) · 11 November 2026 [grenadaembassyusa.org](https://grenadaembassyusa.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Renunciation-of-Grenadian-Citizenship-Instructions-June-2017.pdf) · 11 November 2026 | # |

## How long renunciation takes

No official processing time is published for registering a declaration of renunciation of Grenadian citizenship: the Act, the Regulations and the missions' instructions are all silent. Mirabello confirms the current practice for each file and does not estimate.

| Stage | Indicative duration | Basis |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Pre-check and document preparation | **Not published** | Depends on your documents and certifications; Mirabello confirms the schedule for each file |
| Filing to registration | **Not published** | No official processing time; Mirabello confirms the current practice for each file |
| Certified copy of the registered declaration | **Not published** | No official processing time; Mirabello confirms the current practice for each file |

We update you at every stage. Official processing times are outside our control and cannot be expedited by any agent.

## Do you need to travel to Grenada?

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.

## What changes once your declaration is registered?

- You are no longer a citizen of Grenada and travel on your other passport. The official instructions do not list the Grenadian passport among the documents to send and do not state whether it is surrendered; we confirm this for each file.
- Banks, investment platforms and employers that hold your Grenadian passport on file need updated identity documents; we draft the notices.
- Residence permits and visas issued on your Grenadian passport no longer rest on a valid nationality document; we help you move them to your other passport.
- Children and spouses: section 10 covers an adult's own declaration only. The Act and the Regulations state no effect on a spouse or minor children and provide no declaration on behalf of a minor.
- Changing your mind later: the Minister may grant a certificate of naturalisation to a former citizen of good character who renounced, under the Aliens (Naturalisation) (Special Circumstances) Regulations. The grant is discretionary.

## How are your documents handled?

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.

## Frequently asked

### Do I need another citizenship before I renounce Grenadian citizenship?

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.

### How much does it cost to renounce Grenadian citizenship?

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.

### How long does it take to renounce Grenada citizenship?

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.

### Where do I file: embassy, consulate or St George's?

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.

### Can I regain Grenadian citizenship after renouncing?

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.

### I became a citizen by investment. Do I get my investment back if I renounce?

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.

### Do my children or spouse lose Grenadian citizenship too?

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.

### What happens to my Grenadian passport and my E-2 visa if I renounce?

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.
