'''Belarusian
Belarusian citizenship is acquired and terminated in accordance with the [[Citizenship]] Act of the [[Republic of Belarus]] (2002), as well as international treaties to which [[Belarus]] is a party. These treaties include a 1998 treaty with [[Kazakhstan]], a 1999 treaty with [[Ukraine]], and a 1999 treaty with [[Kazakhstan]], [[Kyrgyzstan]] and [[Russia]].

===Termination of citizenship===
Belarusian citizenship can be terminated by: [[renunciation of citizenship|renunciation]] and [[loss of citizenship]], such as by entering the military service, police service or government service in another state.
According to the Nationality Act, only persons 18 years and older may renounce their citizenship, as long as they possess another citizenship or guarantee of acquisition thereof, do not have any debts or unfulfilled obligations and are not under criminal prosecution. Under 18s must have a renouncing application submitted by their parent(s).
In practice, not [[conscription|military service]] can be used as grounds for refusing renunciation, even for minors, as it is considered an 'unfulfilled obligation'.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://news.zerkalo.io/life/61604.html | title=Украинец и белоруска хотели вывести ребенка из белорусского гражданства.
