Cameroonian citizenship can be acquired at birth, through marriage, or later in life through naturalization.

Citizenship by birth

This type of citizenship can be obtained by:

Persons lawfully born anywhere, of whom at least one parent is a Cameroonian
Persons born out of wedlock to two Cameroonian parents, to one of the Cameroonian parents if that parent was the first parent to establish kinship, or to a stateless person who established paternity for the first time and whose wife/husband is a Cameroonian citizen
Found children on the territory of the country or orphans born on the territory of Cameroon
Persons born in Cameroon who do not have citizenship.

Naturalization

Naturalization allows a foreign citizen to obtain Cameroonian citizenship. The procedure is different in each individual case.

What is naturalization?

Naturalization is the last step in the process of integration into the Cameroonian way of life. This gives you the right to vote and run for office.

What are the requirements to obtain Cameroonian citizenship by naturalization?

Naturalization may be granted to persons of legal age and capacity who have resided in the territory for a sufficient period of time to demonstrate that they understand the customs and traditions of the society.

The general requirements are that applicants are of good character, have no criminal history and are in good physical and mental health. Citizenship may also be granted for service to the nation or in exceptional circumstances. The general qualification for residence is five years, but for persons who have performed outstanding services to the nation, the residence period is not required.

Who can obtain citizenship by naturalization?

In addition to aliens who meet the criteria above, other persons who may be naturalized include the following:

Persons born in Cameroon who have resided in Cameroon for at least five years prior to the date within six months of reaching the age of majority
Adoptees residing in Cameroon at the time of adoption and after the declaration of citizenship six months before reaching the age of majority
Minor children who are married or who have reached the age of majority can claim Cameroonian citizenship if their Cameroonian father has returned his citizenship
Persons who were previously citizens of Cameroon and wish to restore citizenship after the approval of the presidential decree.

Citizenship by marriage

The wife of a Cameroonian man can obtain Cameroon citizenship by declaration after official marriage.

The husband of a Cameroonian wife can naturalize without a period of residence.
