Naturalized Citizens Of France
Naturalization (or naturalisation) is the legal act or process by which a non-national of a country acquires the nationality of that country after birth.

Naturalization usually involves an application or a motion and approval by legal authorities. The rules of naturalization vary from country to country but typically include a promise to obey and uphold that country's laws and taking and subscribing to an oath of allegiance, and may specify other requirements such as a minimum legal residency and adequate knowledge of the national dominant language or culture.
