renunciation of citizenship

Renunciation of citizenship is a formal legal process where an individual voluntarily gives up their legal nationality of a country. This typically involves a person making a conscious decision, often through a legal declaration or application, to relinquish their rights and responsibilities as a citizen. Reasons can include acquiring another nationality, personal beliefs, or financial considerations. Once approved, the individual no longer has the rights or obligations connected to that citizenship, such as voting or protection from that country. It’s a serious decision, usually requiring official procedures and sometimes the approval of government authorities.
