Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds, and peace and blessings be upon the noblest of prophets and messengers, our master Muhammad, peace be upon him, the trustworthy guide, and upon his family and all his companions. After this introduction,

It is my pleasure to present to the esteemed reader—including law school students, law professors, judges, lawyers, legal consultants, and those interested in law—my book titled: 'Nationality in Jordanian Law.' It is a modest explanation of the Jordanian Nationality Law No. (6) of 1954 and its amendments, comparing it with the nationality laws of some Arab and foreign countries. The reason for preparing this book is to contribute to enriching the Jordanian and Arab legal library on the subject of nationality, a field that suffers from a scarcity of references.

Furthermore, there is a pressing need for such a book at this time, especially since most existing books on nationality are outdated and have not kept pace with the issuance of many recent amendments to the Jordanian Nationality Law, such as the amendment No. (18) of 2020 and amendment No. (9) of 2023. This is in addition to the issuance of related laws like the Administrative Judiciary Law No. (27) of 2014, the Civil Status Law No. (9) of 2001 and its amendments, and Law No. (11) of 2013 amending the Jordanian Passports Law No. (2) of 1969. Not to mention the amendments to regulations and instructions, such as the Nationality Fees Regulation No. (107) of 2007, and the cabinet decisions and directives that granted facilities to the children of Jordanian women married to non-Jordanians, among other regulations, laws, and instructions.

Nationality is a core topic of private international law. Its importance is highlighted as the optimal tool for distributing populations among states and, on the other hand, it represents the element of 'the people' in a state, by which nationals are distinguished from non-nationals. It is no secret that the subject of nationality, despite its importance, has not received sufficient attention from Jordanian jurisprudence, with few books, studies, and legal research in this area. Therefore, we find it crucial for the study of nationality to receive adequate attention in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, following the example of other Arab countries, to understand its various aspects and analyze its principles in a manner that suits its political conditions and aligns with its national interests. Nationality is a political bond between the individual and the state, which determines the rights enjoyed by the citizen and the duties imposed upon them. It also embodies the spiritual bond and feelings of belonging and loyalty that a person holds for their state.

I hope that I have succeeded in preparing this book and have made a humble contribution to explaining the provisions of the Nationality Law and its amendments in a way that the esteemed reader can understand. I also hope the book achieves its intended purpose of enriching the Jordanian and Arab legal library, which is in dire need of this type of study.

Finally, I can only thank everyone who assisted me and provided advice, guidance, and information during the preparation of this book and its production in its current form.
