Rwandan nationality law is regulated by the Constitution of Rwanda, as amended; the Nationality Code of Rwanda (French: Code de la nationalité rwandaise), and its revisions; the Law of Persons and Family; and various international agreements to which the country is a signatory. These laws determine who is, or is eligible to be, a national of Rwanda. The legal means to acquire nationality, formal legal membership in a nation, differ from the domestic relationship of rights and obligations between a national and the nation, known as citizenship.
