This study investigates the implementation of Government Regulation No. 21 of 2022 concerning the legal status of dual-nationality children following the deadline for nationality selection. Indonesia’s dual-nationality policy, particularly for children born from mixed-nationality marriages, has led to legal uncertainty for individuals who failed to choose their citizenship status by the age of 21, as stipulated in Law No. 12 of 2006. The regulation offers a legal solution by extending the deadline for nationality determination, aiming to prevent statelessness and safeguard the rights of affected individuals. Using an empirical legal research method, this study explores the regulation's effectiveness in West Nusa Tenggara Province by analyzing policy implementation, data collection efforts, inter-agency coordination, and public awareness. The findings show an increase in nationality applications from dual-nationality children, but also highlight obstacles such as limited outreach and administrative inefficiencies. The study emphasizes the importance of strengthening legal awareness and cross-sector collaboration to enhance the legal protection of children with dual nationality and ensure their recognition as Indonesian citizens.
