<![CDATA[Citizens are one of the elements of state formation because the state cannot be formed without citizens. The link between the two is citizenship. Each country has different methods in determining citizenship in the country. Regulations regarding citizenship in Indonesia are listed in Law number 12 of 2006. The Republic of Indonesia uses the principles of ius soli and ius sanguinis in determining citizenship status. Indonesia basically adheres to the principle of single citizenship where one person is only allowed to have one citizenship. However, there are exceptions for children from mixed marriages who have the opportunity to have limited dual citizenship before they are 18 (eighteen) years old or married.

Explained in Article 23 of Law No. 12/2006, the legal consequences that will be accepted if this happens are the loss of Indonesian citizenship status.]]>
