Cameroonian nationality law information


Cameroonian Nationality Code
Parliament of Cameroon
Long title
  • Code de la nationalité camerounaise
Enacted byGovernment of Cameroon
Status: Current legislation

Cameroonian nationality law is regulated by the Constitution of Cameroon, as amended; the Nationality Code of Cameroon (French: Code de la nationalité camerounaise), and its revisions; and various international agreements to which the country is a signatory. These laws determine who is, or is eligible to be, a national of Cameroon.[1][2] The legal means to acquire nationality, formal legal membership in a nation, differ from the domestic relationship of rights and obligations between a national and the nation, known as citizenship.[3][4] Cameroonian nationality is typically obtained under the principle of jus sanguinis, i.e. by birth in Cameroon or abroad to parents with Cameroonian nationality.[5] It can be granted to persons with an affiliation to the country, or to a permanent resident who has lived in the country for a given period of time through naturalization.[6]
