(DUAL CITIZENSHIP)
*Under the principle of derivative citizenship, unmarried children below eighteen (18) years of age, whether
legitimate, illegitimate, or adopted of former Filipino parents who retained/reacquired their Philippine citizenship
under RA 9225, may also be deemed Filipino citizens if they are included in the parent’s application for
retention/reacquisition of Philippine citizenship and the corresponding fees are paid.
*Please note that a person who is born outside the Philippines on or after 17 January 1973 when either parent was
still a Filipino citizen is considered a dual Filipino citizen from birth. There is no need to include the child as a
derivative citizenship application. Such children only need their births reported to the nearest embassy/consulate.
