Application for Pronouncement

What is Solicitud de Pronunciamiento (Application for a Pronouncement)?

This is a procedure that can be completed if you have doubts regarding your citizenship. By virtue of the power established in Art. 157 No. 9 of Law No. 21.325 of Migración y Extranjería, the Servicio Nacional de Migraciones (SERMIG) may declare whether you are a foreigner or not.

What if I have doubts about my citizenship?

If you have any doubts regarding your citizenship, you can access the App de Trámites Ext-Web, register with an email address, complete the chosen application and attach the requested documentation. A response to your application will be sent to your registered email address.

For example, if you are a person born in Chile and registered in the Servicio de Registro Civil e Identificación (Civil Registry and Identification Service) as a “Hijo de Extranjero Transeúnte” (Child of a foreigner not residing in Chile), and you have doubts regarding this condition, you can submit an application for SERMIG to rule on whether or not you are a foreigner.
