- I.A. Nova Roman citizenship begins at the instant a pater or materfamilias recognizes a person as a member of his or her Nova Roman familia and informs the appropriate Nova Roman magistrates in charge of citizen registration of this recognition.
- B. In the case of newly-created familiae whose patres or matresfamiliarum are new citizens receiving citizenship at the same time as the familiae are being formed and registered, citizenship begins with the approval of the Censors.
- II. Beginning Kalendis Ianuarias, MMDCCLVIII, all new citizens of Nova Roma shall be subject to a probationary period of at least 90 days, during which they will not be allowed the 'iura publica', the right to vote and to stand for any public office.
- III.A. The probationary period will end when 90 days have passed and the new citizen has taken and passed a simple examination covering elementary matters of Nova Roman citizenship and basic Roman history, religion, language, and social practices.
- B. This examination shall be made available, upon request of the applicant, in any of the languages for which Nova Roma has qualified translators.
- C. The examination will be developed by the Censors or such other magistrates as the Censors may designate, and shall be reviewed annually by the Senate.
- D. The examination will be graded by the Censors or by such other persons as may be directed by law.
- IV.A. These requirements may be wholly or partially waived by the Senate in exceptional circumstances.
- B. Examples of such exceptions would include, but not be limited to:
- 1. Applicants who have been peregrine citizens of a municipium or oppidum for 6 months.
- 2. Applicants who are peregrine citizens of municipia or oppida who have been elected to an elective office such as duumvir or aedilis.
- 3. Applicants sponsored by a curule magistrate, including provincial governors.
- 4. Applicants with exceptional academic and professional qualifications.
- V.A. Minor citizens who join Nova Roma after Kalendis Ianuarias, MMDCCLVIII and who have not yet reached 18 years of age may take the examination up to 90 days before their 18th birthday.
- B. Taking and passing the examination early will not entitle them to vote or stand for office before their 18th birthday.
