Petition for nationality

The nationality petition is the application by which a person asks the Principality to recognise them as a Kaharagian national. It is a substantive matter governed by Kaharagian civil-status law and is decided by the relevant institution after review.

Reach the petition from the dashboard, the services directory, or directly at eportal.kaharagia.org/nationality-petition.

Before you start

You will need:

• A K-Connect account with verified identity (Verify your identity)
• Time and care. This is a nine-step form covering personal, demographic, and substantive matters
• Access to documentation about your background, education, work history, family
• A clear idea of why you wish to become a Kaharagian national

You can save and return between sessions; the form preserves what you've entered. Take the time you need to fill it in well.

The nine steps

The petition is divided into nine steps, each focused on a different aspect of the application:

Step 1. Requirements

Eligibility conditions and acknowledgements. You will be asked to confirm that you understand and accept the legal framework of the Principality and that the petition is made voluntarily.

Step 2. Personal Details

Your name (including any former names), date and place of birth, current nationality or nationalities, and any prior nationalities you wish to declare.

Step 3. Contact & Address

How the State should reach you and where you currently reside. The State communicates outcomes through the inbox; contact details are also used for any physical correspondence.

Step 4. Demographics

Physical and cultural details that may be relevant to the registration. Fields are clearly labelled in the form; respond honestly and to the best of your ability.

Step 5. Education & Work

Your educational background and work history. Provide the information that you would on a CV, institutions attended, degrees earned, principal employers and roles. Supporting documentation may be requested at officer review.

Step 6. Family

Marital status, civil partnership, and information about children if applicable. Family ties may be relevant to certain pathways through the petition.

Step 7. Involvement

Your interest in and plans for Kaharagia, what draws you to the Principality, how you intend to engage. This step is reflective rather than evidentiary; write what you genuinely think.

Step 8. Declarations

Legal declarations that the information you have provided is true to the best of your knowledge, that you accept the consequences of any misrepresentation, and that you accept the ePortal Terms of Service and ePortal Privacy Notice as they apply to this petition.

Step 9. Review

A summary of everything you have entered, in a single page, before final submission. This is your last opportunity to correct anything. Once submitted, the petition enters the review queue.

After submission

1. You will receive an inbox confirmation that the petition has been received.
2. The petition enters the review process. Reviews can take time and may involve internal consultation.
3. You may receive inbox messages requesting additional information or supporting documentation. Respond promptly through the inbox; failure to respond within a reasonable time may result in the petition being closed without further consideration.
4. The outcome will be delivered through the inbox. Outcomes include:
   • Granted: Kaharagian nationality is conferred. Your status is updated and any consequential documents (such as a Certificate of Nationality) are issued.
   • Granted with conditions: recognition is conferred subject to specific conditions (rare, but possible).
   • Deferred for further consideration: the petition is held over pending additional review or process.
   • Declined: the petition is not granted at this time. Reasons may be provided to the extent legally and operationally appropriate.

Important notes

• No guaranteed timeline. Petitions involve substantive review and the State does not commit to a specific turnaround.
• No automatic right to be granted. Nationality is a matter of substantive law and administrative discretion. Submitting a petition is the act of requesting consideration; it does not create an entitlement.
• No right to appeal in the ordinary sense. A declined petition is not subject to ordinary appeal, though you may be able to submit again later if circumstances change.
• Honesty matters. Misrepresentation in the petition is a serious matter under Kaharagian law and may also affect your standing under the laws of other countries.

Holding multiple nationalities

Holding Kaharagian nationality (where granted) does not require renunciation of any other nationality and does not, by itself, affect your status under the law of any other country. Whether your country of citizenship permits you to hold an additional nationality is a question for that country's law.

Privacy

The petition involves processing of personal data, some of it sensitive. Detailed handling rules are in the ePortal Privacy Notice. The summary:

• Petition data is processed for the consideration of your application and for the maintenance of any record arising from it
• Supporting documents are kept under access controls and used only by authorised reviewers
• Data is retained according to Kaharagian archival rules; civil-records data has long retention by design
• You have rights of access and correction, and (in limited circumstances) deletion

Common questions

• "Can I save and come back?" Yes, partial petitions are saved automatically. Return through the same URL.
• "Can I withdraw a submitted petition?" You can request withdrawal through the inbox or contact channel. Whether the request is acted on depends on the stage of review.
• "Can someone help me fill it in?" Yes, but the petition is a personal act and only the petitioner can attest to its contents. Helpers must not impersonate or substitute for the petitioner.
• "Will my information be shared with my country of citizenship?" No, the State does not routinely share petition data with foreign authorities. See the ePortal Privacy Notice for the limits.
