Get the citizenship with a parent
If one of your parents or adoptive parents obtains Belgian nationality, you will also automatically obtain Belgian nationality on the same date if you are under 18 years of age and are not emancipated. Your Belgian parent or adoptive parent must also hold parental authority over you.
