Togolese nationality law
National Assembly of Togo
Long title
Ordonnance 78-34 du 7 septembre 1978 portant Code de la nationalité togolaise
Enacted by
Government of Togo
Status: Current legislation
Togolese nationality law is regulated by the Constitution of Togo, as amended; the Togolese Nationality Code, and its revisions; the Code of Persons and Family; the Children's Code; and various international agreements to which the country is a signatory.[1][2][3] These laws determine who is, or is eligible to be, a national of Togo.[4] 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. Nationality describes the relationship of an individual to the state under international law, whereas citizenship is the domestic relationship of an individual within the nation.[5][6] Togolese nationality is typically obtained under the principal of jus sanguinis, i.e. by birth in Togo or abroad to parents with Togolese nationality.[7] 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.[4]
