A Citizen by birth. True or false?

It is true that a child born in a given country automatically becomes a citizen of that country by birth. But why is Spain always asking immigrant parents to present a police report from their country for a baby born in Spain before they can issue the child passport?A Citizen by birth. True or false?
No, that's not correct.





If Joe and Melba from Dunkwater, Alabama are on a trip to Botswana for the Tripe Festival, and Melba gives birth to Lil' Bama Baby, that child will be a citizen of the United States, and will not be a citizen of Botswana.





For specific information on the requirements for a child born in the US to be a US citizen, visit http://www.state.gov and search on 'child citizenship'.





-StuartA Citizen by birth. True or false?
the majority of countries now, do not allow nor recognize jus soli,citizenship by birth of children who's parent do not hold the citizenship of that country.


the US is one of the rarest one still applying that law,


most European countries do not give citizenship by birth only,


you must have at least one parent who holds the citizenship on the birth of a child.


Spain=


The persons are considered to be the national of Spain by reason of birth or by origin if the person:


Born to a parent one of whom is a Spanish national at the time of his/her birth.


Born in Spain, whose parents are foreigners and the father or mother is born in Spain.


Born in Spain whose parents are stateless persons at the time of his/her birth


Born in Spain and the identity of the parents' are not known

Every country has its own laws regarding how citizenship is conferred. I don't know the laws in Spain. But in some countries, birth in that country does not automatically confer citizenship.
True and False. It depends on the immigration laws of the host country. Spain has different laws than the US does regarding immigration and citizenship.
No, the USA is unique in this reguard. All persons born or naturalized in the USA are citizens. Not so in 95% of the world.
He would have duel citizenship.
Depends on the country and their laws.
No. I think it depends on the nation, but basically, I think it's an option people do have.
It depends on the country.
Not always.
