Citizenship in Netherlands

[TEVA 20]

Netherlands


My relative lives in Morocco. He is 20 years old. His dad is Moroccan but gained Dutch citizenship 10 years ago. I want to know if the son could be a Dutch too. The dad won't declare that he has children in Morocco fyi.

I wish to inform you that you become a Dutch citizen automatically at birth (if one or both of your parents is Dutch when you are born), through adoption or through acknowledgement of parentage. Your relative's father was not a Dutch citizen at the time of his birth. The option procedure and naturalization may not be applicable to him. You may contact an attorney and seek further guidance.
