The Hokorian State can revoke or restore citizenship in certain situations, as set out in the Citizenship Act, 2025. These processes exist to protect the integrity of citizenship while still giving people a fair path back if circumstances change.
Revoking citizenship
Citizenship may be revoked by the Koru in the following cases:
- If the person gained citizenship through fraud, false information or deliberate deception.
- If the person commits a serious “qualifying offence” within five years of becoming a citizen by naturalisation or award.
- If dual citizenship has been held without the required permission from the Koru.
Citizenship cannot normally be revoked from minors unless there are exceptional reasons directly linked to how the citizenship was obtained.
Revocation removes all rights and privileges of citizenship, including voting rights, eligibility for public roles and access to citizen-only services.
Restoration of citizenship
Citizenship may be restored in certain circumstances, at the discretion of the Koru. Restoration may be considered if:
- The person previously renounced citizenship as a minor and wishes to return.
- The person lost citizenship due to revocation but is now considered fit to be a citizen again.
- The person meets any requirements set by the Koru, which may include reading the Hokorian Oath.
Restoration returns all rights and responsibilities of citizenship and places the individual back onto the Register of Citizens.
Requesting restoration
Anyone seeking restoration should contact the Koru’s Office with a simple written request outlining:
- Their name and previous MyHok ID (if known)
- The reason they lost citizenship
- Why they believe restoration is appropriate
The decision is fully at the Koru’s discretion, and there is no guaranteed timeframe.
