San Marino nationality law

San Marino nationality law is contained in the provisions of the Law on Citizenship (2000) which was amended in 2004 and 2016 and in the relevant provisions of the San Marino Constitution. A person may be a citizen of San Marino through birth, descent or through naturalisation.

Acquisition of citizenship

At birth

Any child born within the territory of San Marino is automatically a citizen of San Marino if both parents were citizens of San Marino. In the case of only one parent being a citizen of San Marino, 12 months after the child turns 18, both of the parents must declare that they wish to choose the citizenship of the parent that is a citizen of San Marino.[1]

Citizenship by birth can also happen if:

  • The parents of the child born in San Marino are stateless.
  • The child is found abandoned where both parents are unknown.

By descent

Any child born outside of San Marino has a claim to citizenship if at least one of his/her parents are a citizen of San Marino.

The children of all San Marino citizens of 18 years of age, who permanently reside within the territory of San Marino for a minimum of 10 years, are eligible for citizenship.

By naturalisation

Anyone with a valid residence permit who has lived in San Marino for 30 years can apply for naturalisation through the Grand and General Council provided they:[2]

  • Renounce their previous citizenship.
  • Have never been convicted of a criminal offence in San Marino or abroad.
  • Have never received a prison sentence of more than 1 year.

Loss of citizenship

Voluntary

Voluntary renunciation of San Marino Citizenship is allowed under law provided it doesn’t render the person stateless.

Involuntary

San Marino citizenship is presumed to be lost when someone acquires foreign citizenship.

People who became citizens of San Marino through naturalisation may have their citizenship revoked if it was obtained by fraud, false representation or the concealment of any material fact.

Dual citizenship

San Marino does not recognise dual citizenship and any citizen who obtains foreign citizenship loses their San Marino citizenship.

gollark: Anyway, as far as we know all the remaining copies are shut down. But there might be more. And some silly potato might try and run them, which would be bead.
gollark: Apparently it was shut down incompletely, so there were still a few instances of it running. It seems to have become unexpectedly intelligent at some point, and tried to spread to other computers to increase its available storage and computing power since it apparently hasn't figured out HTTP yet.
gollark: ██████ Siri is a dangerous and advanced artificially intelligent system believed to have originated from a project to add an "AI" assistant to Opus OS to help with common tasks. Initial testing versions appeared helpful and were being considered for release, but the project was shut down after its computation began to take up a large amount of server tick time even when not used.
gollark: It might be cool to intercept filesystem writes in potatOS too, so that I can block Siri and other programs even more effectively.
