Citizenship of the European Federation establishes a legal and political bond between an individual and the Federation. It defines a person as a full member of the state, granting them rights, freedoms, and responsibilities under the Constitution of the European Federation and applicable federal laws such as Federal Law №10/2026 "On Citizenship".
Citizenship of the European Federation is a legal status confirming that a person belongs to the Federation as a full member of its political community. Citizens are entitled to the rights defined in the Constitution and are subject to the obligations established by federal legislation.
The state guarantees protection of its citizens both within and outside the territory of the European Federation, in accordance with constitutional provisions and international agreements.
By birth: A person acquires citizenship if born on the territory of the European Federation — except where both parents are diplomatic personnel, or where both parents were, at the time of birth, servicemembers of a state waging armed conflict against the European Federation, and the child was born on territory under that force's control.
By descent: Citizenship is granted if at least one parent or legal guardian is a citizen of the European Federation, regardless of the person's place of birth.
By naturalisation: Foreign nationals may obtain citizenship after meeting residency, state-language proficiency, and civic requirements through a formal application process. Citizenship may be refused where the applicant has an unspent conviction for a serious crime, or documented conduct directed against the constitutional order of the European Federation.
By special grant: Congress may grant citizenship in exceptional cases for outstanding service to the Federation, or for reasons of state necessity.
By founding-population transition: A person who held valid citizenship of the Duspean Republic or the Country of Reality as of 31 March 2026 is entitled to European Federation citizenship, verifiable through the government of that subject or its legal successor.
Legal information on the citizenship can be found in the Constitution of the European Federation:
Citizens may renounce citizenship voluntarily by notifying the federal government, directly or through regional authorities. Renunciation is not permitted:
if it would leave the person without any other valid citizenship; or
while the person is under active criminal investigation or serving a sentence under a final court judgment, until those proceedings conclude.
Further procedural details on renunciation may be set out in separate federal law.
A citizen may be involuntarily deprived of European Federation citizenship only by a final ruling of the Federal Court, issued after judicial proceedings that guarantee the accused's right to a defense, in accordance with Article 15 of the Constitution.
Grounds for deprivation are limited to crimes against the constitutional order and security of the European Federation, as established by a final court judgment.
The Federal Court may reconsider a deprivation ruling if new circumstances emerge that call the original decision into question.
