Hokorian citizenship may be lost in certain circumstances under the law. This may occur through renunciation or revocation.

Renunciation of citizenship

A citizen may voluntarily give up their citizenship through renunciation.

Once renunciation takes effect, the person is no longer recognised as a citizen of the Hokorian State.

More about renouncing Hokorian citizenship.

Revocation of citizenship

In some circumstances, citizenship may be revoked by the Koru.

Revocation may occur where a person:

• Acquired citizenship through fraud or misrepresentation
• Is convicted of a qualifying offence within five calendar years of obtaining citizenship through naturalisation or award and is aged fifteen or over
• Retains citizenship of a restricted state after receiving notice from the Koru.

Restrictions on revocation

Citizenship cannot be revoked where:

• The person is a minor, or
• Revocation would render the person stateless.

Revocation by lawful authority

Revocation may also occur at the request of a lawful authority where authorised by a legal instrument.
