CITIZENSHIP: Citizenship laws are based upon the Swiss Citizenship Law dated September 29,
1952, amended in 1984 and 1990.
BY BIRTH: Birth within the territory of Switzerland does not automatically confer citizenship.
The exception is a child born to unknown parents.
BY DESCENT:
Child born in wedlock, at least one of whose parents is a citizen of Switzerland, regardless
of the child’s country of birth.
Child born out of wedlock, whose mother is a Swiss citizen, regardless of the child’s
country of birth.
Child born abroad to Swiss parents must be registered before the age of 22 or the child will
not be a citizen of Switzerland.
BY NATURALIZATION: Swiss citizenship may be acquired upon fulfillment of the following
conditions:
Person has resided a total of 12 years in Switzerland, three of which within the last five
years prior to application.
The twelve-year requirement is adjusted if the time during which the applicant lived in
Switzerland was between the ages of 10 and 20; in this case, time counts double as
does the time during which the person lived in Switzerland while married to a person
who is Swiss by birth.
Person is integrated into Swiss life, and is knowledgeable of its customs and laws.
Person is not a threat to the security of Switzerland.
A foreigner, after marrying a Swiss citizen, can apply for a simplified naturalization if they
have lived in Switzerland for a total of five years, have lived in Switzerland for the most

Swiss law provides for exceptions to these requirements in situations of blood ties to Swiss
citizens, Swiss military service, and adoption by Swiss citizens.

children under 20 years of age must also renounce their citizenship.
