ELEMENTS OF RENUNCIATIONA person wishing to renounce his or her U.S. citizenship must voluntarily and with intent to relinquish U.S. citizenship:1 appear in person before a U.S. consular or diplomatic officer,2 in a foreign country  at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate; and3 sign an oath of renunciationRenunciations abroad that do not meet the conditions described above have no legal effect. Because of the provisions of Section 349(a)(5), U.S. citizens can only renounce their citizenship in person, and therefore cannot do so by mail, electronically, or through agents. In fact, U.S. courts have held certain attempts to renounce U.S. citizenship to be ineffective on a variety of grounds, as discussed below.</blockquote>
