English term or phrase: On what grounds do you claim your nationality?
I would like to know what's this question about. I have to answer it in my tax form?
gnm
¿en qué se basa para demostrar su nacionalidad?/¿con qué documentos puede demostrar su nacionalidad?
Explanation:
From what I understand, you don't want a translation but an explanation.

If it's your tax form, you probably had to fill out what your nationality is. To prove your claim (the nationality you are filling in), you have to say, passport number ###, birth certificate, or some document proving that nationality.

Hope I understood your question!!

Unless you are requesting your nationality, in which case it should be: \"¿Cuáles son los fundamentos con los que solicita su nacionalidad?\"

on what grounds do you claim your nationality?
"¿De qué país quiere declararse nacional / ciudadano/a?"


Explanation:
Interpreto que se trata de una persona con doble nacionalidad, a la cual, a la hora de hacer la declaración de renta, se le pregunta por cual de las dos nacionalidades quiere optar, la de su país de origen o la del país donde reside. El resto de las hipótesis, en mi concepto, carecen de sentido.

birth, naturalization, etc????


Explanation:
Is it possible that it refers to whether you are a national of the specific country by birth, marriage, descent, etc???

In general, countries define citizenship based on one's descent, place of birth, marriage, and/or naturalization. That is, you might be a citizen of a given country for one or more of the following reasons:

You were born on territory belonging to, or claimed by, that country (often called ius soli, or sometimes jus soli -- Latin for "right of the soil").

One or both of your parents were citizens of that country (often called ius sanguinis or jus sanguinis -- Latin for "right of the blood").

You married a citizen of that country (though please note that the practice of granting immediate, automatic citizenship to a foreign spouse is far less prevalent today than it was decades ago).

You (or one or both of your parents) obtained that country's citizenship by going through a legal process of naturalization.
