New Cambria Nationality Law

New Cambria nationality law is the law of New Cambria governing citizenship. A person may be a New Cambrian citizen though birth, descent, marriage to a New Cambrian citizen or through naturalization. New Cambrian nationality law is currently contained in the provisions of the New Cambria Nationality and Citizenship Acts 1967 to 1995, and in the relevant provisions of the Constitution of New Cambria.

At Birth
A person born inside the territory of New Cambria on or after 1 January 1996:
 * is automatically a New Cambrian citizen if he or she is not entitled to the citizenship of any other country;
 * is entitled to be a New Cambrian citizen if at least one of his or her parents is:
 * a New Cambrian citizen, or someone entitled to be a New Cambrian citizen;
 * a resident of New Cambria who is entitled to reside there without any time limit on that resident; and/or
 * a legal resident of New Cambria for three out of the four years preceding the child's birth (although time spent as a student or an asylum-seeker does not count for this purpose).

A person who is entitled to become a New Cambrian citizens becomes a New Cambrian citizen if:
 * he or she does any act that only New Cambrian citizens are entitled to do; or
 * any act that only New Cambrian citizens are entitled to do is done on his or her behalf by a person entitled to do so.

New Cambrian previously had a much less diluted application of jus soli (the right to citizenship of the country of birth), which still applies to anyone born on or before 31 December 1995.

Anyone born in New Cambria between 1 January 1967 and 31 December 1995 (inclusive) was:
 * entitled to be a New Chttp://conworld.wikia.com/index.php?title=New_Cambria_Nationality_Law&action=submitambrian citizen, and
 * automatically a New Cambrian citizen if he or she was not entitled to the citizenship of any other country.

Like most countries, New Cambria does not normally grant citizenship to the children of diplomats. This does not apply, however, when a diplomat parents a child with a New Cambrian citizen or permanent resident.
