If a baby is born in Antartica, what citizenship does he/she has?

Question

I am talking about human not penguins.

Answer 1

Probably the citizenship of the country in whose base the child was born.

Notwithstanding the 1961 Antarctic Treaty, most if not all of Antarctica remains the subject of territorial claims. Australia, for example, calls a large chunk of Antarctica the Australian Antarctic Territory. The child may have the citizenship of the claimant to the location of birth.

An interesting, but highly theoretical question.

Answer 2

The baby will adopt the citizenship of the parents. If the parents have different citizenships, it depends on what country each parent comes from to decide in that scenario. But generally, anywhere, the child will take the citizenship of the parents.

Answer 3

if the mother is a US citizen, then the child is also a US citizen, no matter where it was born. Just needs some paperwork to prove it so the child can enter USA with no problems. Usually a citizenship card which you can apply for at the embassy.

Answer 4

The baby would have the same citizenship of the parents.

Answer 5

Antarctian

Answer 6

Maybe the kid could take Antarctica for himself and become the little Emperor of Antarctica.

Answer 7

That of his/her parents. No claims to Antarctic territory are recognised thus it belongs to no nation. All the people there, however, are nationals of one nation or another and so their children will have their nationality.

Answer 8

That would be wherever the parents citizenship is.

Answer 9

If it is born to US Citizens then it will be American. My son was born in Okinawa, Japan. Both parents are U. S. Military so we had to get a VISA to get him back stateside. U.S. CITIZEN

Answer 10

I think it depends on U.N citizenship, i am not sure this will fit your question...
