| Aug 12, 2017 at 16:27 | comment | added | user102008 | See 7 FAM 1215(e): "In making all these points clear to potentially stateless renunciants, the Department of State will, nevertheless, afford them their right to expatriate. We will accept and approve renunciations of persons who do not already possess another nationality." | |

The US specifically allows you to renounce US citizenship even if it will make you stateless, if that's what you really want to do. | |
