If you live abroad &amp; give up your citizenship, I think you should sign a waiver clause giving US government release of liability for any security, diplomatic services, basically anything you&#x27;d ever ask for. The US is off the hook for your safety and comfort, forever. Perhaps this is already part of the  process, not sure.<p>IMO, depending on where you are living abroad, that might give one misgivings about turning in ones passport.<p>Just my 2 satoshis.
