Obtaining Dutch nationality for your child
Questioner
I have Greek nationality, and my child was born in the Netherlands. His father is Moroccan. I've lived in the Netherlands for eight years. How can I arrange for him to get a Dutch passport?Questioner
Dear Madam, The question is whether the father also has Dutch nationality. If the father had Dutch nationality on the day your child was born and he acknowledged the child before birth, or if he acknowledged your child after March 1, 2009, after birth but before the child's 7th birthday, then your child has Dutch nationality. Do you have any questions? Please feel free to ask. Yours sincerely,Questioner
Father does not have Dutch nationality and our child has been acknowledged by father.Questioner
Then you cannot apply for a Dutch passport for your child. Perhaps you and your child could become Dutch citizens through naturalization. In that case, you might have to renounce your Greek citizenship. Is that an option? see also: https://ind.nl/Nederlanderschap/naturalisatie/voorbereiden-naturalisatie/Paginas/voorwaarden.aspxTake the next step
