This is a legal template for an affidavit used by an individual seeking to resume their Indian citizenship. It outlines the necessary sworn statements regarding birth, parentage, and the circumstances under which citizenship was previously lost.
About this template
What is this template?
This document is a sworn statement used to register a declaration of intention to resume Indian citizenship. It is not an application for a fresh passport or a renunciation form, but specifically addresses the automatic loss of citizenship that occurs for minors under Section 8(1).
When should you use it?
Use this template when you were a minor when your parent renounced their Indian citizenship and you now wish to reclaim it upon reaching adulthood. Use an Affidavit of Renunciation instead if you are currently seeking to give up Indian nationality.
Who it's for
- an individual who ceased to be an Indian citizen because their father renounced citizenship
- a former Indian citizen applying to the District Magistrate for resumption of status
