How is the citizenship of a child established?
The child whose parents are citizens of the RA at the moment of his or her birth acquires citizenship of the RA, regardless of place of birth.
The child, one of whose parents is a citizen of the RA at the moment of his or her birth and the other parent is unknown or does not have citizenship, acquires citizenship of the RA.
In case one of the parents is a citizen of the RA and the other is a citizen of a foreign country, the citizenship of a child is established by the parents' general agreement. If there is no agreement, a child acquires citizenship of the RA if:
- he or she was born in the RA or
- in case he or she does not acquire citizenship of the RA, he or she becomes an individual who does not have citizenship, or
- parents permanently live in the RA.
