THE long-awaited protocols for many affected by last year’s landmark Privy Council citizenship ruling –– which established that children born to Bahamian men are entitled to citizenship regardless of their mother’s nationality –– were tabled in the House of Assembly yesterday in a bill to amend the Passport Act.
People affected by the ruling whose father is identified on their birth certificate can already apply to the Passport Office for a passport.
Those whose father is not identified on their birth certificate must take a DNA test through a process outlined in the bill.
