 * Zambian nationality law** governs the acquisition, retention, and loss of citizenship in the Republic of Zambia. The law is primarily based on the **Zambian Citizenship Act of 1975**, although it has undergone amendments and revisions over the years. The provisions of the law define the criteria for Zambian citizenship and outline the various ways in which individuals can become citizens of Zambia.
 * Citizenship by birth**
 * A person born in Zambia, either of whose parents is a Zambian citizen or legally settled in Zambia, is considered a citizen by birth.
 * Children born in Zambia to foreign diplomatic or consular officers are not automatically granted Zambian citizenship.
 * Citizenship by descent**
 * A person born outside Zambia may acquire citizenship if either of their parents is a Zambian citizen by birth or descent.
 * The law has specific provisions for individuals born to Zambian parents who have acquired foreign citizenship. Such individuals have the right to claim Zambian citizenship up to the age of 21.
 * Citizenship by registration**
 * Foreign nationals who have resided in Zambia for a specified period may be eligible for citizenship through registration.
 * The requirements for citizenship by registration vary, but generally include a minimum period of residency, good character, and knowledge of the English language or any of the recognized Zambian languages.
 * Special provisions exist for individuals who are married to Zambian citizens.
 * Citizenship by naturalization**
 * Foreign nationals who have resided in Zambia for a certain number of years and meet specific criteria can apply for citizenship by naturalization.
 * The requirements for citizenship by naturalization include lawful and continuous residency, good character, proficiency in the English language or any of the recognized Zambian languages, and renunciation of any other foreign citizenship.
 * The period of residency required for naturalization varies depending on the applicant's circumstances, such as marriage to a Zambian citizen or employment in Zambia.
 * Dual citizenship**
 * Zambia allows dual citizenship, meaning individuals can hold citizenship of Zambia alongside another country without losing their Zambian citizenship.
 * Dual citizens are entitled to the same rights and obligations as other Zambian citizens.
 * Loss of citizenship**
 * Zambian citizenship can be voluntarily renounced by an individual who wishes to acquire another nationality.
 * The government has the authority to revoke citizenship in cases where it was obtained fraudulently or through false representation.
