ON THE ACQUISITION AND LOSS OF NORWEGIAN
CITIZENSHIP.
Norwegian citizenship is acquired:
1. by birth; for legitimate children if, at the moment of their
birth, their father or mother had the rights of citizen; for
illegitimate children, if their mother had;
2. by one of the following voluntary acts: a) marriage when
a foreign woman marries a Norwegian citizen; b) the
establishment of residence in Norway when he who wishes to settle there
has been naturalised, except when a native woman has married a
foreigner; c) employment in the service of the Norwegian state
(compare § 92 of the fundamental law); if it is a public service
common to Norway and Sweden (i.e. the diplomatic and consular
service) the nomination only confers Norwegian citizenship, if the
functionary in question is naturalised and declares that he is no
longer the subject of another state.
Norwegian citizenship can also be conferred by a concession
of the king or his delegate (at present the minister of justice).
Generally this concession can only be conferred on a person who
has had a continuous residence in Norway for three successive years,
who gives sufficient security that neither himself nor his family
will need public assistance before he has been legally domiciled in
one of the poor law districts of the country, who is of age, [1] and
who has not been guilty of any act which would render a citizen
liable to loss or suspension of the right of voting (see page 180).
Citizenship acquired by voluntary act or by concession includes
also the wife of the new citizen and those children under age who
live at his house or are educated at his expense.
Citizenship is lost a) by the acquisition of citizenship in a
foreign country; b) by leaving the country without intention of
returning. A Norwegian citizen can, however, retain his citizenship
by declaring to the Norwegian consul at the place where he
[1] That is, is 21 years old. There are, however, in Norwegian as in Roman
law two degrees of minority. Absolute minority lasts till the eighteenth year,
but full majority is only attained at 21. From 18 to 21 a person is a minor
under curatorship but can perform legal acts himself except contracting debts
and alienating his real and personal property.
