Birth within the United States

Section 1 of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution provides that "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."

In the case of United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. (1898), the Supreme Court ruled that a person becomes a citizen of the United States at the time of birth, by virtue of the first clause of the 14th Amendment, if that person:

• Is born in the United States
• Has parents that are subjects of a foreign power, but not in any diplomatic or official capacity of that foreign power
• Has parents that have permanent domicile and residence in the United States
• Has parents that are in the United States for business

The Supreme Court has never explicitly ruled on whether children born in the United States to illegal immigrant parents are entitled to birthright citizenship via the 14th Amendment, but it has generally been assumed that they are.

Citizenship by birth

Any person born in India on or after 26 January 1950, but prior to the commencement of the 1986 Act on 1 July 1987, is a citizen of India by birth. A person born in India on or after 1 July 1987 is a citizen of India if either parent was a citizen of India at the time of the birth. Those born in India on or after 3 December 2004 are considered citizens of India only if both of their parents are citizens of India or if one parent is a citizen of India and the other is not an illegal migrant at  the time of their birth. In September 2013, Bombay High Court gave a judgement that a birth certificate, passport or even an Aadhaar card alone may not be enough to prove Indian citizenship,unless the parents are not Indian citizens.

British citizenship by birth in the United Kingdom[edit]

From 1 January 1983, a child born in the UK to a parent who is a British citizen or 'settled' in the UK is automatically a British citizen by birth.

• Only one parent needs to meet this requirement.
• "Settled" status usually means the parent is resident in the UK and has the right of abode, or holds Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR), or is the citizen of an EU/EEA country and has permanent residence, or otherwise unrestricted by immigration laws to remain in the UK. Irish citizens in the UK are deemed settled for this purpose.
• Special rules exist for cases where a parent of a child is a citizen of a European Union or European Economic Area member state, or Switzerland. The law in this respect was changed on 2 October 2000 and 30 April 2006. See below for details.
• For children born before 1 July 2006, if only the father meets this requirement the parents must be married. Marriage subsequent to the birth is normally enough to confer British citizenship from that point.
• Where the father is not married to the mother, the Home Office usually registers the child as British provided an application is made and the child would have been British otherwise. The child must be under 18 on the date of application.
• Where a parent subsequently acquires British citizenship or "settled" status, the child can be registered as British provided he or she is aged under 18.
• If the child lives in the UK until age 10 there is a lifetime entitlement to register as a British citizen. The immigration status of the child and his/her parents is irrelevant.
• Special provisions may apply for the child to acquire British citizenship if a parent is a British Overseas citizen or British subject, or if the child is stateless.

Even if a child born in the UK on or after 1 January 1983 does not acquire British citizenship, he/she does not require a visa (leave to enter or remain) to live in the UK.However, he/she is subject to immigration control and needs to obtain leave to enter if he/she leaves the UK and seeks re-admission, or leave to remain where permission is sought for the child to be allowed to stay in the UK.

Before 1983, birth in the UK was sufficient in itself to confer British nationality irrespective of the status of parents, with an exception only for children of diplomats and enemy aliens. This exception did not apply to most visiting forces, so, in general, children born in the UK before 1983 to visiting military personnel (e.g. US forces stationed in the UK) are British citizens.

बेलाइत मा पनि विवाह दर्ता हुन पर्ने रहेछ यदि, विवाह नभैकन बच्चा भएको रेछ भने १८ बर्ष भन्दा अघी बच्चा दर्ता गर्न अप्र्ने रहेछ  

अब नेपाल मा चाँही विवाह दर्ता गर्न पनि नपर्ने, जन्म दर्ता गर्न पनि नपर्ने अब बच्चा १६ बर्ष पुगेपछी  नागरिकता चहियो भन्नु कत्तिको प्रजातान्त्रिक हुन्छ ? कुनै प्रमाण बिना जस्ले जे भन्यो तेही मान्दै हिद्द प्रजातन्त्र हुन्छ कि अराजकता 

हो ४० -५० बर्ष को कुरा अर्कै समाज तेत्ती जान्ने थिएन, केटी हरुको पहुछ शिक्षा संचार मा थिएन। त्यो बेला मैले एस्तो कुरा भनेको भये गलत हुन्थ्यो। तर साझा सवाल हेर्दा बच्चा हरु २०५० तिरे जन्मे का देखिन्छन जुन बेला नेपाल मा एफ एम हरु टन्न थिए, एन जि ओ हरु टन्न थिए,सामाजिक जगरण सुरु भाई सकेको थियो. अब शिक्षामा नभये संचारमा पहुच छ, टन्न एन जि ओ हरु छन, विवाह दर्ता जन्मा दर्ता गर्न पर्ने  कुरा एफ एम ले भनिरहेका हुन्छन अब त्यो नगरि प्रमाण नपुराइ खाली राज्ये ले कानुन पर्बर्तन गर भनेर त हुँदैन नि.

अनी आफ्नो त्यो एकोहोरो जिद्दी ले गर्दा देश ले के सम्स्या भोग्न पर्छ  भबिश्ये मा भनेर सोच्ने कि  नसोच्ने हामीले, देश ले भोग्ने सम्स्या भनेको हामीले नै भोग्ने हो क्यारे  

शिक्षा निसुल्क गर्दा त  धेरै झोले बिढ्ह्यालये  छन, मास्टर  भएर काम नागरिकन तलब खान लाई, येदि सबै जन्म दर्ता एलेक्त्रोनिक् भेरीफिकेसन गर्न सम्भब भये आमा को नाम बाट मात्र नागरिकता दिये केही फरक पर्दैन किन भने हामी verify गर्न सक्छौ 

तेस्कारन कानुन ले  अन्धबिश्वास बढेको नभै हामी आँफै परिवर्तन हुन नसकेर अन्धविश्वाश भएको हो, आफ्नो जीम्मेवारि पुरा गर्न गाह्रो मानेर सम्साय भएको हो, 

त्यो साझा सबाल मा त एक जना केटा  ले सजिलै सँग भारतीय नागरिकता पाउने देखिन्छ, किन नलेको होला? खाली भारतीय राज्दुताबास वा कन्सुलट मा जन्म दर्ता गराउन पर्ने भनेको छ, शायद त्यो पनि गरायेको छैन कि? अब तेस्को जिम्मा पनि हामीले लिने हो र? उनिहरुले नेपाल को नागरिकता लिन खोजे त्यो राम्रो हो. 

तर  नागरिकता नै नहुनु भन्दा त भारतीय नागरिकता राम्रो हो नि। होइन? भारत मा धेरै सम्भाबना पनि छन नेपाल को भन्दा
