Considering renouncing your U.S. citizenship?
…consider this:
First, it is important to be aware that one can only renounce their citizenship in person, by the person who wishes to renounce their citizenship and before a consular or another Secretary of State designated authority.
Things to consider when renouncing U.S. citizenship:
- Renouncing citizenship may have no affect on U.S. tax or military service obligations.
- Prosecution for crimes allegedly committed in the U.S. cannot be avoided.
- Financial obligations accrued in the U.S. or as a U.S. citizen cannot be avoided.
- Renunciation cannot be canceled and is permanent; you cannot become a U.S. citizen in the future.
- In order to return and live in the U.S. you must have proper documentation, such as an approved visa.
- If you have not successfully attained citizenship in a foreign country you will be considered stateless and you will not be protected under any government.

You are German and your child is born in the U.S. what does this mean?
What happens when you are German and you welcome a child into your family while living in the United States?
It is important to ensure that your child maintains U.S. citizenship as well as German citizenship.
If you do not apply within a reasonable period, receiving dual-citizenship becomes harder as the child gets older.
Future problems can be ensued, if your child wishes to move between the
two countries or chooses to work between the two countries. You will
also encounter problems if you wish to receive money from the German
government for your child.
This is why it is important for you to be informed!
