Štátne občianstvá a domovské príslušnosti

The first modern legal regulation on domicile right in the territory of Slovakia is connected to the Hungarian Article XVIII of Law year 1871 on the administration of small settlements and municipalities. According to this article, every citizen of the state had to belong to a municipality. In 1918, the new Czechoslovak Republic was established, which began to adopt new laws concerning the domicil right and citizenship which was governed by the new Act No. 236/1920. Subsequently, a more significant change was the adoption of Constitutional Act No. 152 on July 1, 1926, called Lex Dérer, which supplemented Act No. 236 of 1920. Until 1938, only government regulations were issued for the regulation of citizenship and domicile right. In the period between 1938 -1948, when Košice and Southern Slovakia belonged to the Hungarian Kingdom, citizenship applications were processed based on previously valid Hungarian laws. (Later, the Czechoslovak law no. 194/1949 on the acquisition and loss of Czechoslovak citizenship has definitively canceled the granting of the right of domicile.)
