Current Fee for Renouncing U.S. Citizenship
The fee to formally renounce U.S. citizenship has recently changed. Here are the details:
Fee Overview
| Attribute | Previous Fee | New Fee | Effective Date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Renunciation Fee | $2,350 | $450 | April 13, 2026 |
Background Information
- The fee was raised to $2,350 in 2015 due to increased administrative costs and a surge in renunciation requests.
- The new fee of $450 returns to the level set when the fee was first introduced in 2010.
- This reduction aims to alleviate the financial burden on Americans wishing to renounce their citizenship, especially those living abroad.
Process of Renunciation
- Applicants must appear in person at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate.
- They must take an oath of renunciation and confirm their understanding of the implications.
- The process includes a review by the State Department before a Certificate of Loss of Nationality (CLN) is issued.
Additional Considerations
- The fee reduction does not change any tax obligations or reporting requirements associated with renouncing citizenship.
- Individuals must be compliant with U.S. tax laws for the five years prior to renunciation to avoid being classified as a "covered expatriate," which may incur additional taxes.
This fee adjustment is significant for those considering renunciation, making the process more accessible.
