Guía práctica: qué hacer en Nicaragua antes de adquirir otra nacionalidad y perder la nicaragüense

TL;DR

  • Nicaragua's constitutional reform will end dual nationality; acquiring another citizenship will mean losing Nicaraguan nationality.
  • The reform is not retroactive and will not affect those who already have dual nationality.
  • Key steps to take before losing nationality include granting powers of attorney for properties, apostilling birth certificates, police records, and academic documents.
  • It is also advised to update identification documents (cedula and passport) for ongoing transactions, organize bank accounts by ensuring online access and updated beneficiaries, and obtain a breakdown of social security contributions.
  • Parents with children born abroad should register them as Nicaraguan citizens before losing their own nationality to secure their right of blood and facilitate future legal matters.
