PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING !

Children born outside Sri Lanka, whose birth is registered with a Sri Lanka Mission Abroad are issued with certificates under the 'Consular Functions Act' by the Registrar General's Office as well as the 'Ceylon Citizenship Act' by the Ministry of Defence. Certificates issued by the Ministry of Defence under the 'Ceylon Citizenship Act' will become void on reaching the age of 18 years, at which time the child will have to decide whether to retain the Sri Lankan citizenship, the citizenship of the country of birth, or both, by making an application to the Ministry of Defence before he completes the age of 19 years. Applicants who do not comply with this requirement will automatically lose the Sri Lankan Citizenship as stated at the bottom of the Certificate issued by the Ministry of Defence.

In view of the above, it is advisable for the parents to keep their children informed of this requirement.
