Family of a St Kitts and Nevis citizen

Family citizenship St Kitts and Nevis

Married after obtaining citizenship, had a child or your parents reached the required age? They can be added through the Citizenship Unit. We check whether the family member qualifies, gather the documents and take the application through to the certificate and passport.

Ask a question

Dependants who could have been included in the original application cannot be added this way. A separate procedure applies to them.

What clients say

Reviews from clients we have supported in different countries.

Hungary · Residence permit

I did everything correctly: chose the fund, invested the money, and waited for my residence permit. Then it turns out the fund's certificate has an error, and because of that I might be denied. The money is invested, but the paperwork is flawed—and I'm the one who suffers!

I compared four companies and stayed with the one that told me about the risks in my case first and about prices second. Compliance went through without a single additional request.

Family citizenship questions

01How much does it cost to add a newborn to St Kitts and Nevis citizenship?

For a child under 3 born after the main applicant’s Certificate of Registration was issued, the government fee is USD 7,500, plus the standard fees for processing, due diligence, the certificate and the passport.

02Can I add a spouse I married after obtaining citizenship?

Yes, a new spouse is among those who can be added after citizenship. The government fee for a spouse or other dependant after approval is USD 30,000 plus the standard fees.

03My child was born while my application was being processed. What now?

Such a child can be added to the application for USD 10,000 if born after filing but before you obtained citizenship.

04I did not include my child in the original application. Can I add them now?

Not by this route. Dependants who could have been included in the original application apply through a separate sponsored application.

05Can parents be added?

Yes, if the parent reached the dependant age (55, or the age in force on the application date) after you obtained citizenship.

06Does the new citizen need biometrics?

Yes. Since 14 April 2026 biometrics are mandatory for new applications, and passport production has been integrated with biometrics since 1 September 2026.

Sources. Dependant categories and fees were checked on 23 October 2026 against the application process section of the St Kitts and Nevis Citizenship Unit website (ciu.gov.kn) and SRO 1 of 2026 published there. Biometric requirements follow the biometrics section of the same site. Updated 23.10.2026.
