A citizen of full age and capacity who, for the purpose of becoming a citizen of another country, makes and registers in the prescribed manner a declaration of renunciation of Saint Lucia citizenship ceases to be a citizen as from the date of registration (Citizenship of Saint Lucia Act, Cap. 1.04, s.10(1); Constitution s.103(c)).

Renunciation effective on registration of the declaration (Cit Act Cap. 1.04, s.10).
A citizen of full age and capacity may make a declaration of renunciation under s.10; the Minister registers it and citizenship ceases on registration. Saint Lucia otherwise permits dual citizenship, so renunciation is voluntary, typically to satisfy another state's single-nationality rule.
Voluntary renunciation available; takes effect on registration (s.10).
s.10 renunciation is a voluntary, applicant-initiated act distinct from deprivation (s.9). No deprivation grounds are engaged; the declaration is registered and citizenship ceases.
Generally unavailable to a minor; s.10 requires full age and capacity.
Renunciation under s.10 is confined to a person of full age and capacity; a minor cannot ordinarily renounce, so the route is unavailable until majority.
