Naturalization

Naturalization is the legal process by which a foreign citizen becomes a citizen of a country, typically after meeting specific requirements. This process often involves submitting an application, demonstrating proficiency in the country’s language, passing a citizenship test about its history and government, and showing proof of residency. Once granted, the individual receives the rights and responsibilities of citizenship, including the right to vote and access to social services. Naturalization helps integrate immigrants into society and strengthens their connection to their new country.
