Renunciation of Philippine citizenship is the voluntary act of giving up your Philippine citizenship after acquiring foreign citizenship.

A Filipino citizen (natural-born or naturalized), at least 18 years of age, may choose to renounce their Philippine citizenship.

Filipinos who wish to renounce their Philippine citizenship must set an appointment to take their Oath of Renunciation. Once approved, the Embassy will issue a certification stating that the individual has relinquished their rights and privileges as a Filipino citizen.

1. Prepare Your Documents. Complete your required documents before your appointment. Please bring a pen for filling out and signing forms during your appointment.

2. Proceed to the Embassy. On the day of your appointment, go to the Embassy with your required documents and pay the processing fee.

3. Take the Oath of Renunciation. Take the oath before the consular officer. 

4. Receive Your Affidavit of Renunciation. You have the option to provide a return envelope to the consular officer for mailing, or collect your affidavit on the same day.

Please note that the consular officer reserves the right to require additional documents from an applicant to prove their identity and/or citizenship, and ensure accurate and complete personal data entries. The Embassy has no photocopier/printer onsite.
