A Hokorian citizen may choose to give up their citizenship through a legal process known as renunciation.
Who can renounce citizenship
A person may renounce their citizenship if:
- They are not a minor
- They are of sound mind and full capacity
- Renouncing citizenship would not make them stateless.
If these conditions are met, the person may formally renounce their citizenship.
Renouncing citizenship for a minor
A person who has legal responsibility for a minor citizen may renounce the minor’s citizenship if:
- They are of sound mind and full capacity, and
- The minor would not become stateless.
Effect of renunciation
When citizenship is renounced:
- The person immediately ceases to be a Hokorian citizen.
This means they will no longer be recognised as belonging to the Hokorian State.
