Kenyan citizenship can be acquired by birth, registration, or naturalization under the Kenya Citizenship and Immigration Act, 2011 and the Constitution of Kenya, 2010. The 2010 Constitution introduced significant changes to citizenship law, including the recognition of dual citizenship, which was previously prohibited.
