Verified 21 February 2023 – Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)
There are 2 main ways to obtain French nationality: declaration of nationality and the naturalization.
The statement concerns you if you are married or if you have a relationship with a french person (descendant, brother or sister…).
The naturalization is subject to several conditions, in particular the length of residence in France.
Special rules apply if you were born in France to foreigner parents.
Finally, you can become French again if you have lost French nationality.
The approach varies depending on who you are born abroad or in France
