Full age means eighteen years and full capacity means not of unsound mind (section 2(2)); a woman who has been married is deemed to be of full age for this purpose (section 10(2)). The declaration is made on the Seventh Schedule form before a Justice of the Peace, Notary Public or similar official and is sent to the Minister responsible for citizenship, who causes it to be registered; the person ceases to be a citizen of Grenada upon registration. The Minister may withhold registration only where the declaration is made by a national of another country during a war in which Grenada may be engaged; the prescribed fee for registration is 250.00 Eastern Caribbean dollars. Grenada allows dual citizenship, so renunciation is a choice and not a requirement of Grenadian law; a former citizen who renounced may later be granted a certificate of naturalisation at the Minister's discretion under the Aliens (Naturalisation) (Special Circumstances) Regulations.","legal_basis":{"constitution_s99_3":"Constitution of Grenada, section 99(3): Parliament may make provision for the renunciation by any person of his or her citizenship of Grenada.","act_s10_1_eligibility_and_effect":"Citizenship Act, Cap. 54, section 10(1): if any citizen of full age and capacity is, or is about to become, a citizen of another country and for that reason makes, in the prescribed manner, a declaration of renunciation of his or her citizenship, the Minister shall cause the declaration to be registered, and upon registration of the declaration that person shall cease to be a citizen.","act_s2_2_full_age_and_capacity":"Citizenship Act, Cap. 54, section 2(2): for the purposes of the Act a person is of full age if he or she attains the age of eighteen years, and of full capacity if he or she is not of unsound mind.","act_s10_2_married_woman":"Citizenship Act, Cap. 54, section 10(2): for the purposes of section 10, a woman who has been married shall be deemed to be of full age.","act_s10_1_proviso_wartime":"Citizenship Act, Cap. 54, section 10(1) proviso: the Minister may withhold registration of the declaration if it is made by a person who is a national of another country during a war in which Grenada may be engaged.

Part III of the Citizenship Act, Cap. 54 (Loss of Citizenship) provides only for deprivation by Order of the Minister (section 9) and renunciation by declaration (section 10); section 9A is repealed. Renunciation is therefore a choice of the citizen, not a requirement of Grenadian law.","minor_children_and_spouse":"Section 10 of the Citizenship Act, Cap. 54 and regulation 9 apply to a citizen of full age and capacity making his or her own declaration.

The Act as enacted states nothing about recovery of an investment or contribution after a voluntary renunciation, and nothing about reacquiring a renounced citizenship by investment.","offence_false_information":"The prescribed declaration form states that to give false information on the form, purposely or recklessly, is a criminal offence punishable with imprisonment (section 14, Citizenship Act)."},"procedure":{"decided_by":"The Minister responsible for matters relating to citizenship, who causes the declaration to be registered (Citizenship Act, Cap. 54, sections 2(1) and 10(1)).","where_to_file":{"in_country":"Office of the Prime Minister, Attn: Ministry of Home Affairs, The Carenage, St. George's, Grenada.
