I am British (only passport I have) and my husband and children have Dutch nationality/passports. Is there any way I can still get Dutch citizenship/passport via marriage if I am living in the country of my citizenship?

Yes, you can. You can apply for it when you are at least three years married to a Dutch national.

Some nationalities need to do the integration exam by learning basic Dutch. Check the website of the IND if this is mandatory for you

@Primadonna Are you certain? The reason I ask is because it says this when I look up attaining Dutch citizenship via marriage:

Just to reiterate, I have only a British passport and I live in London with my Dutch husband and children.

At the moment I give Dutch lessons to two students who are living in Jordan but married to a Dutch national and both are opting for citizenship.

You, as a British citizen, don't need to learn the language. While I was searching (because I was wondering) I saw contradictory frases which can be challenging to understand if you're eligible for the Dutch passport.

Your children has the Dutch nationality by birth, even if you haven't聽 applied a passport yet.

It seems not correct if it will be declined because you live in the land of your nationality.

Therefore I strongly recommend to contact the IND and ask there as they're who makes the decision to become a Dutch citizenship or not.

Hello, what was the result of it. Sis you manage to abtain your Dutch citizenship. If so please share, as considering for my partner.

Hi and welcome to the Forum.

The examples we've had on the Forum all seem to have revolved around the applicant having 1 Dutch parent at the time of his/her birth, they then applied for Citizenship "by option" - you can read about it on the Dutch Government (IND) website; this will take you straight to it.

If this is not what you want, my advice is to try and contact the IND directly; this will take you to the section of their website with the contact details.

I'm married to a Dutch citizen and when we considered this, it seemed to be dependent on us being legally resident in the Netherlands at the time of application; we never bothered in the end as it delivered no tangible benefits apart from a different passport; I'm already a dual-national of/with another nation, so it would have made that extremely complicated (some countries don't allow it), so I never bothered.

I hope this helps.
