Acknowledgement of paternity and the Netherlands Nationality Act

The Netherlands Nationality Act also gives minor children improved status in the granting of Dutch nationality by means of naturalisation.

Under the Netherlands Nationality Act, a person above the age of eighteen who is acknowledged as the child of an Aruban does not immediately acquire Dutch nationality.

The possibility of acquiring Dutch nationality by option has also been extended.

If someone is found to have obtained Dutch nationality fraudulently, it can be withdrawn.

The same applies to the obligation to hear the views of minors in the event of the acquisition of Dutch nationality by option and naturalisation.

A woman with Dutch nationality cannot be forced to relinquish her nationality if her spouse acquires another nationality.

If an Aruban father wishes his child to acquire Dutch nationality immediately, he must acknowledge paternity before the child is born.

A foreign woman married to a Dutch national may obtain Dutch nationality on request, but is not compelled to do so.

As a result of the amendment to the legislation with effect from 1 April 2003, a minor child no longer immediately acquires Dutch nationality when its father acknowledges paternity.
