Sancratosian nationality law outlines the criteria under which individuals can obtain citizenship in the Principality of Sancratosia. Similar to many micronations, citizenship is primarily acquired through a process of naturalization. Provisions within the Civil Code also allow for citizenship to be acquired by descent or through marriage.

Applicants for citizenship must be aged 13 years or older to be eligible.

Dual system of citizenship

Sancratosians by status

  Sancratosian nationals (13.46%)

  Sancratosian residents (88.46%)

In the Principality of Sancratosia, individuals are classified as nationals or residents, each category entitling them to specific rights and privileges.

Nationality

Sancratosian nationals enjoy full political rights, including the ability to obtain passports, identity cards, and access certain governmental programs. They are automatically granted residency upon application for nationality.

Acquiring nationality is not automatic; applicants must undergo a validation process overseen by the Ministry of State. A mandatory citizenship test evaluates candidates on their knowledge of Sancratosia, adherence to its values and principles, and reasons for seeking nationality.

Nationality can be forfeited by acquiring citizenship from another nation. Exceptions exist for individuals who cannot renounce their original nationality or who accept public positions conferred by a foreign government, as stipulated by law.

The acquisition and reacquisition of nationality is the prerogative of the Sovereign Princess.

Residency

Residency grants individuals civil rights but not political rights within Sancratosia. It is automatically granted to individuals applying for Sancratosian nationality who do not meet all requirements.

Residency is generally granted automatically upon request and is lost only if the individual establishes permanent residence in a foreign country with no intent to return.

Honorary citizenship

In the Principality of Sancratosia, honorary citizenship may be conferred by the Sovereign Princess upon individuals who have not formally applied for regular citizenship. This honorific status is separate from the official count of citizenship statistics. Honorary citizens typically enjoy similar rights and privileges as Sancratosian nationals.
