Home / Citizenship by Investment / Saint Lucia / Citizenship renunciation
Any Saint Lucia citizen of full age and capacity may renounce, for the purpose of becoming a citizen of another country, by a witnessed declaration on Form 11, and ceases to be a citizen from the date the declaration is registered.
Requirements and processMCP
The short answer
Yes. Under section 10(1) of the Citizenship of Saint Lucia Act (Cap. 1.04), a citizen of full age and capacity may renounce for the purpose of becoming a citizen of another country. The declaration is made on Form 11, in two copies, signed before a justice of the peace, an attorney-at-law or a person authorised to administer oaths in Saint Lucia, or before a Saint Lucia diplomatic agent or consular officer abroad. It is registered at the office of the Minister responsible for citizenship, and you cease to be a citizen from the date of registration. No fee for this registration and no official processing time are published.
Information, not legal or tax advice. Statute text verified on 11 November 2026 against the Revised Laws of Saint Lucia (2023) published by the Attorney General's Chambers. No government fee and no processing time for renunciation are published in the official sources.
Eligibility and pre-checks
The legal test in section 10 is short. The practical checks are where files go wrong, so Mirabello Consultancy runs them before anything is signed.
Documents
Process
The declaration can be made in Saint Lucia or abroad. One dedicated contact manages the file from first call to registration.
Fees
No government fee for renouncing Saint Lucia citizenship is published. Schedule 2 (Fees) to the Citizenship of Saint Lucia Regulations lists fees for certificates of registration and naturalisation and lists no fee for registering a declaration of renunciation. We do not estimate one; any charge the office applies is confirmed before filing and passed through at cost.

Timeline
No official processing time for registering a declaration of renunciation of Saint Lucia citizenship is published in the Act, the Regulations or the official pages. The only fixed point in law is the effect: citizenship ends from the date of registration.

| Preparation and witnessing of Form 11 | Not published | No official 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.
Remote or in person
The Regulations provide for a declaration made outside Saint Lucia: it is signed in the presence of a Saint Lucia diplomatic agent or a Saint Lucia consular officer in the country where you are (regulation 14), and then registered at the office of the Minister in Saint Lucia (regulation 8). The official sources do not state whether the mission forwards the declaration or the declarant sends it, so we confirm the route for each file, book the appointment and prepare you for it.
After renunciation
Data protection
Your documents travel through secure channels and are shared only with the office of the Minister, Saint Lucia missions, witnesses and couriers, as each step requires. We keep records only as long as regulation and our engagement terms require.
Questions
Section 10(1) of the Citizenship of Saint Lucia Act allows a declaration made for the purpose of becoming a citizen of another country. On Form 11 you state the country of which you are, or are about to become, a citizen. The section contains no rule that restores Saint Lucia citizenship if the other nationality is not acquired afterwards.
No government fee is published. Schedule 2 (Fees) to the Citizenship of Saint Lucia Regulations lists no fee for registering a declaration of renunciation, and we do not estimate one. Any charge applied by the office is confirmed before filing and passed through at cost; our professional fee is fixed and quoted in writing.
No official processing time is published. In law, your citizenship ends from the date the declaration is registered at the office of the Minister, not on the day you sign. Mirabello confirms the current practice for each file.
Yes. Outside Saint Lucia, Form 11 is signed in the presence of a Saint Lucia diplomatic agent or a Saint Lucia consular officer in that country, under regulation 14. The declaration is then registered at the office of the Minister in Saint Lucia; the official sources do not state who forwards it, so the route is confirmed for each file.
The Constitution (section 102(1)(c)) and the Act (section 6(1)(d)) entitle a person who renounced in order to qualify for the acquisition or retention of another citizenship to be registered as a citizen again on application. Where the Minister is satisfied that the applicant is entitled, a certificate of registration is granted.
The official sources are silent. The Citizenship by Investment Act contains no provision on renunciation and states nothing about recovering an investment after a voluntary renunciation. Its Regulations describe the contribution to the Saint Lucia National Economic Fund as a non-refundable monetary contribution.
Section 10 and regulation 8 apply to a citizen of full age and capacity making his or her own declaration. Neither states any effect of a renunciation on the spouse or minor children of the person renouncing, and neither provides for a declaration made on behalf of a minor.
From the date of registration you are no longer a citizen of Saint Lucia, and you travel on your other passport. The Act, the Regulations and Form 11 do not state whether the Saint Lucia passport is handed in with the declaration, so Mirabello confirms the requirement with the office for each file.
