Domicile of choice is abandoned by which action?

• A. Acquiring permanent residency
• B. Registering to vote
• C. Ceasing to reside in a territory and ceasing to intend to reside there indefinitely
• D. Changing citizenship

Answer: (C)

Domicile of choice is built from two elements: actual residence in a place and the intention to make that place your permanent home. Abandonment happens when both parts disappear. If you stop living in the territory and you also no longer intend to reside there indefinitely, you abandon your domicile of choice there. Merely obtaining permanent residency elsewhere or changing citizenship doesn’t alone determine domicile, and registering to vote is a sign of ties rather than a decisive factor. The crucial action is ceasing to reside in the territory and ceasing to intend to reside there indefinitely.
