Changes of nationality

Change of nationality. The acquisition and granting of the Belgian nationality are complex legal matters. However, Statbel’s approach for the calculation of nationality changes is very simple: someone changes his/her nationality when his/her nationality as registered in the national register changes. Therefore, we only take into account the people for whom a nationality has already been registered. Persons who acquire the Belgian nationality when no previous nationality has been registered are not included in these statistics. Also, we only take into account the persons domiciled in our country. This definition, although without any real legal content, covers a large number of legal categories from the Code of Belgian Nationality (naturalisation, acquisition by declaration, etc.). The condition of having a previous nationality means that a number of situation are not included in this statistic. This is largely the case, for example, when the Belgian nationality is granted based on the nationality of the father or the mother (Art. 8 of the Law of 4 December 2012 and previous laws). Usually, no previous nationality is registered in this case. The nationality is registered in the national register under “information type 031”. For more information about the acquisition of the nationality and the “information type 031”, please visit the websites of the FPS Home Affairs - Directorate General for Institutions and Population and of the FPS Justice. There is a change of nationality when the nationality in the National Register of a person domiciled in Belgium as recorded in the information type 031 changes. Metadata Change of nationality国籍变更。比利时国籍的取得与获批属于复杂的法律事务。然而，比利时统计局（Statbel）在国籍变更统计的计算逻辑上十分简洁：当人员在国家登记系统（National Register）中登记的国籍信息发生变更时，即视为其国籍发生变更。因此，本次统计仅纳入已完成国籍登记的人员。未持有原国籍即取得比利时国籍的人员，不纳入本次统计范围。同时，本次统计仅涵盖在比利时境内定居的人员。尽管本定义本身不具备实质法律效力，但涵盖了《比利时国籍法》中的绝大多数法定情形（如入籍、声明取得国籍等）。要求持有原国籍这一限定条件，使得部分情形未被纳入本次统计。例如，当依据父母国籍获批比利时国籍时（如2012年12月4日法律第8条及此前相关法律规定），大多属于此类未被纳入统计的情形。此类情形下，通常未登记原国籍信息。国籍信息通过“信息类型031”登记至国家登记系统（National Register）。若需了解更多关于国籍取得及“信息类型031”的相关内容，请访问联邦内政部（FPS Home Affairs）- 机构与人口总局以及联邦司法部（FPS Justice）的官方网站。当通过“信息类型031”登记至国家登记系统的、在比利时定居人员的国籍信息发生变更时，即视为国籍变更。元数据：国籍变更
