Jus soli stateless preventer Article 6(1)(a)

An applicant claiming nationality under RWN Article 6(1)(a) must demonstrate (i) birth within Kingdom territory by Dutch civil-status registration (BRP entry or constituent-country PIVA/Census Bureau record); (ii) either foundling status (no identified parentage) OR documented statelessness via BMP-issued Bewijs van Staatloosheid OR (post-2023-10-01) Rechtbank Den Haag declaratory judgment per Wet 35687. Acquisition is AUTOMATIC at birth (ex lege) — no application required; nationality is REGISTERED via gemeente BRP correction or IND verklaring van nationaliteitsbezit per Article 23 RWN. Where IND or gemeente refuses to register, bezwaar (AwB Chapter 7) within 6 weeks → beroep rechtbank → hoger beroep ABRvS. Article 6(1)(a) is NOT discretionary — it operates ipso jure on factual satisfaction; this is the SHARPEST distinction from Articles 7-8 naturalization which retain Kingdom discretion under Article 9.
