1. Yes.
2. Born
3. I would rather not be a citizen of the US, but technically I am.
4. I'm not sure how to answer that question. It's really just a matter of fact that I'm a citizen of the US. I didn't ask for it, I didn't want it, and I have to pay to get rid of it. I never asked for any protections, privileges, immunities or anything else from the government. They gave me what they wanted and they restricted me in whatever way they wanted to. Do I want their protection, privileges or immunities? Absolutely not. Maybe if they were more responsive towards me I would consent, but as it stands I consider them corrupt and completely out of control.
Well, I am not sure what you mean about the costs, but all that is required is:
Renunciation of U.S. Nationality
"ELEMENTS OF RENUNCIATION
A 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 (normally at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate); and
3. sign an oath of renunciation
Renunciations that do not meet the conditions described above have no legal effect. Because of the provisions of Section 349(a)(5), U.S. citizens cannot effectively renounce their citizenship by mail, through an agent, or while in the United States. 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.
REQUIREMENT - RENOUNCE ALL RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES
a person seeking to renounce U.S. citizenship must renounce all the rights and privileges associated with such citizenships. In the case of Colon v. U.S. Department of State , 2 F.Supp.2d 43 (1998),the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia rejected Colon’s petition for a writ of mandamus directing the Secretary of State to approve a Certificate of Loss of Nationality in the case because he wanted to retain the right to live in the United States while claiming he was not a U.S. citizen."
All you have to do is cross the border into either Canada or Mexico, locate the closest U.S. Consulate, and follow steps 1 thru 3 above. NOTE: when you do that you are no longer permitted to return to or reside in the U.S.A. unless you file for permission under the Immigration codes. If you do, you are then bound by all the laws while you reside in the U.S.A.
I suggest you liquidate all of your assets, rent a deposit box in your chosen country, and ferry cash in the authorized amount of no more than $10,000 at a time into it before you renounce.
What happens to you as a citizen of no nation after that? I guess that depends on the country you find yourself in.
