Five Individuals Receive Naturalized Citizenship Based on Nepali Mothers Following Legal Amendment
Summary
Five individuals with Nepali mothers and foreign fathers have been granted naturalized citizenship certificates following the amendment of the Nepal Citizenship Act, enabling citizenship based on maternal lineage.
Key Points
- Five individuals with Nepali mothers and foreign fathers received naturalized citizenship certificates from Makwanpur's District Administration Office.
- The Nepal Citizenship (Fourth Amendment) Regulation, 2082 amended the Nepal Citizenship Act, 2063, allowing citizenship issuance based on the mother's name if the father is foreign.
- Three recipients are from Hetauda Sub-Metropolitan City-11 Nawalpur, one from Hetauda Sub-Metropolitan City-4, and one from Raksirang Rural Municipality.
- Previously, these individuals could not obtain citizenship due to their fathers' foreign nationality, but the recent amendment resolved this issue.
