Citizenship By Birth and Adoption
A child born in Slovenia is a Slovenian citizen if either parent is a Slovenian citizen
Where the child is born outside Slovenia the child will be automatically Slovenian if:
- both parents are Slovenian citizens; or
- one parent is Slovenian and the other is stateless; or
- the child does not have any other citizenship.
A person born outside Slovenia with one Slovenian parent who is not Slovenian automatically may acquire Slovenian citizenship through:
- an application for registration as a Slovenian citizen made at any time before age 36; or
- taking up permanent residence in Slovenia before age 18
Children adopted by Slovenian citizens may be granted Slovenian citizenship.

Famous quotes containing the words citizenship, birth and/or adoption:
“Bohemia is nothing more than the little country in which you do not live. If you try to obtain citizenship in it, at once the court and retinue pack the royal archives and treasure and move away beyond the hills.”
—O. Henry [William Sydney Porter] (1862–1910)
“For birth was a disease and Christopher and I invented the cure.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“Frankly, I adore your catchy slogan, “Adoption, not Abortion,” although no one has been able to figure out, even with expert counseling, how to use adoption as a method of birth control, or at what time of the month it is most effective.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
