Document background
The Application for Citizenship Form is a crucial document in the Nigerian citizenship acquisition process, designed to facilitate the systematic collection of required information from foreign nationals seeking Nigerian citizenship. This form is mandated by Nigerian law and must be completed by all citizenship applicants, whether applying through naturalization, registration, or other eligible pathways. The document ensures compliance with the requirements set forth in Chapter III of the Nigerian Constitution and the Nigerian Citizenship Act, collecting essential information about the applicant's identity, residency, character, and eligibility for citizenship. It serves as the foundation for the citizenship application process and must be submitted along with supporting documentation to the Federal Ministry of Interior for processing.
