State Department Slashes Fee to Renounce US Citizenship by 80% to $450
The US State Department will reduce the citizenship renunciation fee by 80% to $450 to ease financial burdens after a six-year legal battle led by Americans abroad.
- The State Department reduced the fee to renounce U.S. citizenship from $2,350 to $450, an approximately 80% cut, effective Friday as published in the Federal Register.
- This fee reduction returns the cost to the 2010 level when fees for citizenship renunciation first began after a prior increase in 2015.
- The reduction follows years of legal challenges by groups including the Association of Accidental Americans, who argued that the fee was too high and should be lower or free.
- Fabien Lahagre, president of the Association of Accidental Americans, called the fee cut a victory resulting from six years of legal advocacy and said it makes the right to renounce citizenship more accessible to all.
