About this template
What is this template?
This document is a sworn statement of facts and intent submitted to Indian authorities. It is not an application form itself but a supporting affidavit that verifies the applicant's birth details and the specific date their citizenship ceased. It contains a formal verification clause and a declaration of intent to resume Indian nationality.
When should you use it?
Use this document when you are a former Indian citizen reaching adulthood and wish to exercise your right to resume citizenship after your parents renounced it. You would use a Renunciation Declaration instead if you were seeking to give up Indian citizenship.
Who it's for
- an individual whose father renounced Indian citizenship while the individual was still a minor
- a person applying to the Central Government to register a declaration of citizenship resumption
- an applicant who ceased to be an Indian citizen specifically under Section 8(1) of the 1955 Act
