I've been reviewing all the documents and have come to some conclusions.& The docs needed to remove oneself from SS were a bit easier to decide on than are the docs for the Dept. of State.

The docs to remove oneself from the SS are:

Notice of Expatriation Affidavit From U.S. Citizen to "American" National

W-8 (or W-8BEN)

Actual and Constructive Notice

Revocation of Power of Attorney

SSA-521

The W-8 and the SSA-521 will need to be filled out 'carefully'.& I'll be working on those in the next few days... as well as the Revocation of Power of Attorney, which is one doc that I have not yet found.

The docs for the Dept. of State are quite different.& I'm not exactly sure which doc to use as the initial request.& Initially I was leaning towards the larger doc... but now I find myself leaning towards the shorter of the 2.& The "attachments" are another story altogether.& It is my opinion that the "DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE" (which is "Enclosure 5" located in the downloads section) is a must.& The FS 581 Questionnaire, the 7 FAM 1100 doc, Birth Certificate, the&SSA Regulation on Citizenship Status(POM) -&section RS 00204.015, Affidavit of Oath of Allegiance, the modified DS 11, Enclosure 6 and an SS-5 form are all the choices for attachments with the request for the Certificate.

Maybe the less we use the better off we would be.& If we load them down with a bunch of attachments they may think that we're trying to "prove" something and maybe we are not really sure of what we are doing.& If we send just the most pertinent documents, those docs that fulfill the requirements, we will stand a better chance at reaching the goal.

I am open to suggestions/opinions etc.
