In Switzerland, the place of origin ((ドイツ語:Heimatort or Bürgerort), literally "home place" or "citizen place"; (フランス語:Lieu d'origine); (イタリア語:Luogo d'origine)) denotes where the Swiss citizen has his municipal citizenship. It is not to be confused with the place of birth or the place of residence, although two or all three of these locations can be identical depending on the Person. == Acquisition of the municipal citizenship == Swiss citizenship has three tiers: *Municipal citizenship, granted by the place of residence after fulfilling several preconditions, like sufficient knowledge of the local language, integration into the local society, and a minimum amount of years lived in said municipality. *Cantonal (state) citizenship, for which a Swiss municipal citizenship is required. It requires a certain amount of years lived in said canton. *Country citizenship, for which both of the above is a requirement, also requires a certain amount of years lived in Switzerland, and involves a criminal background check. The last two kinds of citizenship are a mere formality while the municipal citizenship is the most significant step in becoming a Swiss citizen. However, any Swiss citizen can apply for a second, a third or even more municipal citizenships for prestige reasons or to show his or her connection to the place he currently lives in - and thus have several places of origins. As the legal significance of the place of origin has waned (see below), Swiss citizens can often apply for a municipal citizenship for a mere 100 Swiss francs or so after having lived in the same town for just one year or two. Especially in the past, though, it has been normal to demand 2000 or 4000 Swiss francs as a citizenship fee because of the financial obligations involved for the municipality. A child born to Swiss parents is automatically granted the citizenship of the parent with the same last name, so the child either gets the mother's or the father's place of origin. A child born to mixed parents (Swiss father, foreign mother or vice versa) acquires the citizenship and thus the place of origin of the parent that is Swiss citizen.〔Article 4, Federal Law on the Acquisition and the Loss of Swiss Citizenship ("Bundesgesetz über Erwerb und Verlust des Schweizer Bürgerrechts")〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Place of origin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
