Nationality Law

Nationality Law refers to a set of legal principles that determine how a person acquires, retains, and loses nationality or citizenship in a country. It outlines the criteria for becoming a citizen, such as birth within the country, descent from citizens, or naturalization processes. Nationality Law also dictates rights and responsibilities associated with citizenship, such as voting and taxation. Each country has its own laws regarding nationality, reflecting its history, policy, and social values, and these laws can impact individuals’ legal status and rights within and outside their country of nationality.
