Citizenship law is a branch of law that regulates the legal bond between an individual and a state, as well as the rights and obligations arising from this bond. This bond indicates that the individual is a citizen of a particular state and is affiliated with it.
This field of law covers the following topics:
• Acquisition of Citizenship: Regulates processes for acquiring citizenship through birth, adoption, marriage, or decisions of competent authorities.
• Loss of Citizenship: Covers the procedures for losing citizenship voluntarily or due to legal reasons.
• Dual Citizenship: Regulates the status of being a citizen of more than one state simultaneously and its legal implications.
• Disputes Related to Citizenship: Addresses issues such as citizenship claims, rejected applications, or disputes concerning status.
Citizenship law is influenced by international law and frequently comes into focus in relation to migration, asylum, and dual citizenship matters.
For guidance on citizenship applications and processes or to protect your rights, consulting a legal expert is highly recommended.
