Nationality and Citizenship Law

Nationality and Citizenship Law define how a person legally becomes a member of a specific country. "Nationality" refers to the legal relationship that links an individual to a nation, often determining rights and duties. "Citizenship" usually denotes the rights, privileges, and responsibilities granted to nationals, such as voting or holding public office. These laws establish how someone can acquire, lose, or regain their nationality or citizenship, often through birth, descent, naturalization, or marriage. They ensure clarity in a person's legal status, affecting their rights, obligations, and ability to access government services within that country.
