Comparative regional report on citizenship law: Anglophone Caribbean 3.3 Loss of citizenship All Anglophone Caribbean countries allow for individuals to renounce their citizenship, contingent only on a few limitations. They also provide measures by which those who either registered or naturalised for citizenship may have their citizenship withdrawn (typically due to fraud in acquisition, but also because an individual has been deemed a security, or similar, threat). Of note, citizenship revocation in these latter cases of involuntary citizenship loss can result in statelessness. Statelessness is also a possibility when a country allows for citizenship withdrawal if an individual is stripped of citizenship in another Commonwealth country on grounds that are similar to that of the Anglophone Caribbean country (see Table 10). 3.3.1 Voluntary loss of citizenship All Anglophone Caribbean countries permit their citizens to renounce their citizenship. The main exceptions to a citizen’s ability to renounce include: not meeting the minimum age and “full capacity” requirements, and seeking citizenship from a country with which their country of original citizenship is at war. In nearly all of the cases, a citizen’s renunciation becomes invalid if s/he is unable to acquire another citizenship (and is not a dual national) within a specified period (typically 12 months). This provision helps ensure that individuals in those countries are not rendered stateless. 22 RSCAS/GLOBALCIT-Comp. 2020/3 - © 2020 Authors
