Can I appeal to renounce my Singapore citizenship before turning 21?


Updated by ICA

Please be informed that there are no provisions within the Singapore Constitution to allow for renunciation prior to the age of 21 for any Singapore citizen. Under Article 128 of Part X of the Singapore Constitution, a citizen of Singapore can only renounce his/her Singapore citizenship if he/she:

  • Is aged 21 and above

  • Is of sound mind

  • Have acquired the citizenship of another country

As you have yet to attain 21 years of age, you are not eligible to renounce your Singapore citizenship at this time. Your application for renunciation should only be submitted once you meet the constitutional requirements.
