citizen

Specified community membership

Keep the person, the political community and the asserted membership distinguishable.

1. Of which state or other political community is this person asserted to be a citizen? definition
2. What establishes that the membership evidence refers to this person and this community? provenance

Local status distinction

Preserve distinctions among citizenship, nationality, residence and honorary designations where the community makes them.

1. How does the relevant community define citizenship, and does it distinguish citizenship from nationality? definition
2. Does this designation establish membership, or describe residence, honorary recognition or another neighbouring status? boundary

Basis and effective event

Separate facts supporting acquisition from the event or rule that makes citizenship effective.

1. Which applicable rule and facts establish acquisition at birth, naturalisation or another recognised route? provenance
2. On what date did citizenship take effect, and is that date distinct from application, approval or document issuance? measurement

Cessation and restoration

Record alleged changes and their evidential status without assuming that a request, expired document or absence ends citizenship.

1. What evidence establishes any cessation or restoration of citizenship and its effective date? provenance
2. Is the reported event an effective membership change, a pending procedure or a change only to supporting documentation? boundary

Documentary support

Assess what each record establishes, who issued it and whether it remains usable for the intended purpose.

1. Which records support the citizenship claim, and what does each issuing authority say those records establish? provenance
2. Does an expired, missing or inconsistent document affect proof for this purpose, membership itself, or an unresolved combination? boundary

Authority-specific assessment

Keep authority decisions, personal assertions and agent assessments separately attributable.

1. Which authority has recognised, denied or questioned this citizenship, and what is the scope and date of its determination? provenance
2. What evidence or competent review is needed before an agent can rely on the disputed claim for the proposed action? action

Conditional entitlements

Link proposed entitlements, such as voting or access to consular assistance, to applicable rules and qualifying conditions.

1. Which applicable rule connects citizenship to the particular entitlement being considered? provenance
2. What additional conditions, such as age, residence, registration or location, must be satisfied before the agent can treat the person as eligible? action

Obligation trigger

Establish whether a specified duty follows from citizenship and which exceptions or additional conditions apply.

1. Does the duty under consideration arise from citizenship, residence, income, presence or another basis? boundary
2. What applicable conditions, exemptions and procedures must be verified before advising an action concerning this duty? action

Membership interactions

Keep separate evidence for each membership and identify rules that connect acquisition or retention across communities.

1. Which other citizenships are supported or claimed, and what independently establishes each one? provenance
2. Before a proposed acquisition or renunciation, what rules must be checked for effects on existing citizenships? action

Membership through political change

Preserve dated community identities and investigate how a relevant political transition affects membership.

1. Has succession, dissolution, territorial change or another political transition affected the community associated with this citizenship claim? boundary
2. Which transitional rules or determinations establish continued, replaced or unresolved membership for this person? provenance
