Afghan nationality law is the law governing the acquisition, transmission, and the loss of Afghan citizenship. The Afghan nationality law follows the jus soli rule. It allows people to become citizens of Afghanistan regardless of ethnicity or gender. There have been controversial proposals about using the jus sanguinis law on ethnic Pashtuns outside Afghanistan.

Constitutionally speaking, Afghan nationality cannot be involuntarily deprived.
