Apply for Kaharagian nationality
To apply to be recognised as a Kaharagian national, you submit a petition for nationality through the ePortal. You need an ePortal account — a K-Connect sign-in with verified identity — before you can start. Once submitted, the petition is reviewed through the ePortal and, where suitable, forwarded to the Sovereign with a recommendation; the Sovereign makes the final decision on all grants of nationality.
Before you start
You will need:
- An ePortal account, signed in via K-Connect, with verified identity (Create your account and Verify your identity)
- Time and care: the petition is a nine-step form covering personal, demographic, and substantive matters
- Access to documentation about your background, education, work history, and family
- A clear understanding of why you wish to become a Kaharagian national
You can save and return between sessions; the form preserves what you have entered.
Submitting the petition
- Sign in to your K-Connect account and make sure your identity is verified.
- Go to eportal.kaharagia.org/nationality-petition or open the petition from the ePortal dashboard or services directory.
- Complete the nine steps of the form: Requirements, Personal Details, Contact & Address, Demographics, Education & Work, Family, Involvement, Declarations, Review. See the full description on the Petition for nationality page in the ePortal section.
- Review and submit. Once submitted, the petition enters the review queue.
You will see an on-screen confirmation that the petition has been received.
What happens next
- You will receive an inbox confirmation that the petition has been received.
- The petition is reviewed through the ePortal. Reviews can take time and may involve internal consultation. The State does not commit to a specific turnaround.
- You may receive inbox messages requesting additional information or supporting documentation. Respond promptly; failure to respond within a reasonable time may result in the petition being closed without further consideration.
- The petition is forwarded to the Sovereign with a recommendation.
- The outcome is delivered through your inbox. Possible outcomes are: Granted, Granted with conditions, Deferred for further consideration, or Declined. Where the outcome is Granted, your status is updated in the National Register and any consequential documents (such as a Certificate of Nationality) are issued.
Important points
- 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 founded upon the consent of the Sovereign and the acceptance of the individual. Submitting a petition does not create an entitlement.
- No ordinary right of appeal. 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. Kaharagian nationality is independent of any other nationality. Holding it does not, by itself, require renunciation of any other nationality you may hold; whether your country of nationality 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. The full handling rules are in the ePortal Privacy Notice. In summary:
