Citizenship of children is primarily related to the citizenship of their parents, namely the residence of the parents of the child or one of them in Ukraine, as well as the fact of registration of the place of residence of the parents of the child or one of them in the territory of Ukraine at the time of the child's birth. Thus, the citizenship of persons born between November 13, 1991 (the date of entry into force of the Law of Ukraine “On Citizenship of Ukraine” as amended from October 8, 1991) and until February 28, 2001 inclusive, if such persons were born in Ukraine or their parents or one of them was a citizen of Ukraine, is determined in accordance with the Law of Ukraine “On Citizenship of Ukraine” as amended on October 8, 1991 and the Law of Ukraine “On Citizenship of Ukraine” as amended on April 16, 1997. In case of non-confirmation of the above facts, one of the parents or the legal representative of the child has the right to apply to the territorial unit of the DMS with an application for the acquisition of Ukrainian citizenship by this category of children at the place of residence (such children can acquire Ukrainian citizenship in accordance with Part 3 of Article 8 of the Law or Article 14 of the Law). The provisions of Article 7 of the current Law of Ukraine “On Citizenship of Ukraine” apply to persons born after March 1, 2001 (the date of entry into force of the Law). In accordance with the first part of Article 7 of this Law, a person whose parents or one of the parents were citizens of Ukraine at the time of their birth is a citizen of Ukraine. The place of birth of a person in this case does not affect the possibility of acquiring Ukrainian citizenship: a person acquires Ukrainian citizenship regardless of whether he was born on the territory of Ukraine or abroad. In this case, one of the parents or the legal representative of the child may apply for the child's acquisition of Ukrainian citizenship by birth to the territorial unit of the State Tax Service of Ukraine at the place of residence. After the decision on the acquisition of citizenship of Ukraine, the person receives a certificate of registration of the person as a citizen of Ukraine.
