## Can you renounce Saint Lucia citizenship?

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.

## Which documents do you need to renounce?

### What you prepare

- Two completed copies of Form 11, the Declaration of Renunciation of Citizenship under section 10(1) of the Act. We draft it for you.
- The particulars Form 11 asks for: your name and address, place and date of birth, a statement that you are of full age and capacity, and the country of which you are, or are about to become, a citizen.
- Your signature on the declaration in the presence of a witness listed in regulation 14, whose title is stated on the form.
- No official checklist of supporting documents for renunciation is published. Mirabello confirms with the office of the Minister what is requested for each file before it is lodged.

### What you receive

- A government-ready file, checked line by line before submission.
- Confirmation of submission.
- Registration of your declaration, the point at which your citizenship ends. Form 11 carries a registration line signed for the Minister.
- The official sources do not describe a separate certificate of renunciation; we confirm what written confirmation is issued for your file.
- Drafted notification letters for banks, employers and other institutions.

## How do you renounce Saint Lucia citizenship?

The declaration can be made in Saint Lucia or abroad. One dedicated contact manages the file from first call to registration.

- **Confidential consultation.** We confirm eligibility under section 10, the status of your other citizenship and any family or residence implications.
- **Form 11 prepared.** We prepare two copies of Form 11 with your particulars and check names, dates and places against your records.
- **Declaration witnessed.** You sign 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 in any other country (regulation 14).
- **Lodging.** The declaration is lodged for registration at the office of the Minister responsible for citizenship (regulation 8).
- **Registration.** The declaration is entered in the register kept by the Permanent Secretary to the Minister. From the date of registration you are no longer a citizen of Saint Lucia.
- **Notifications.** We help you update banks, employers and immigration records, and you travel on your other passport.

## How much does it cost to renounce?

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.

| Fee | Amount | Notes | Source |  |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Registration of the declaration of renunciation | **None published** | Schedule 2 to the Regulations lists no fee for this registration; confirmed with the office of the Minister before filing. | [attorneygeneralchambers.com](https://www.attorneygeneralchambers.com/laws-of-saint-lucia/citizenship-of-saint-lucia-act/section-8-01) · 11 November 2026 | # |
| Mirabello professional fee | **Fixed fee, quoted in writing** | Agreed before you engage us; separate from government fees, which are passed through at cost. | Mirabello Consultancy | # |

**Government vs professional fees.** Government fees are set by the authorities and can change without notice. Our fee covers pre-checks, drafting, witnessing coordination, filing, follow-up and notifications. Courier and witnessing charges are at cost.

## How long renunciation takes

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.

| Stage | Indicative duration | Basis |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Preparation and witnessing of Form 11 | **Not published** | No official time; Mirabello confirms the current practice for each file. |
| Lodging to registration | **Not published** | No official processing time; Mirabello confirms the current practice for each file. |
| End of citizenship | **From the date of registration** | Citizenship of Saint Lucia Act, section 10(1) |

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 Saint Lucia?

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.

## What changes once your declaration is registered?

- You are no longer a citizen of Saint Lucia and travel on your other passport. The official sources do not state whether the Saint Lucia passport is surrendered with the declaration; we confirm this for your file.
- Banks, investment platforms and employers that hold your Saint Lucia passport on file need updated identity documents; we draft the notices.
- Residence permits and visas issued on your Saint Lucia passport are a matter for the issuing country; we help you plan the transfer to your other passport.
- Spouses and children: section 10 covers a citizen of full age and capacity making his or her own declaration. The law states no effect on a spouse or minor children and makes no provision for a declaration on behalf of a minor.
- Changing your mind later: a person who renounced in order to qualify for the acquisition or retention of another citizenship is entitled, on application, to be registered as a citizen again (Constitution, section 102(1)(c); Act, section 6(1)(d)).

## How are your documents handled?

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.

## Frequently asked

### Do I need another citizenship before I renounce Saint Lucia citizenship?

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.

### How much does it cost to renounce Saint Lucia citizenship?

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.

### How long does it take to renounce Saint Lucia citizenship?

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.

### Can I renounce Saint Lucia citizenship from abroad?

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.

### Can I resume Saint Lucian citizenship after renouncing?

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.

### Do I get my investment back if I renounce Saint Lucia citizenship?

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.

### What happens to my spouse and children if I renounce?

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.

### What happens to my Saint Lucia passport?

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.
