About this document

A certificate of naturalisation or citizenship proves that a person holds the nationality of a country, either because they acquired it (naturalisation, declaration) or because they received it by descent or birth. Issued by the competent authority (a ministry, immigration service or court), it gives the holder's identity, the date and sometimes the place or legal basis of acquisition, a registration or certificate number, and official signatures and seals.
