CITIZENSHIP

The citizenship of the competitors shall be verified by persons appointed by the JJIF Technical Committee. The evidence of citizenship shall be production of a passport issued by the country for which the competitor wishes to compete.

In the following cases
(I) where the competitions are being held in a country in which the residents do not hold passports while in that country ;
(II) where there is a possible problem of " joint citizenship ", e.g. Dutch Antilles and the Netherlands an acceptable substitute for the passport will be a letter or certificate from the competitor's National Olympic Committee or, if there is no such body, from the National Sports Authority confirming the competitor's residence in that country and the citizenship. If a competitor has multiple citizenship he or she may compete for only one country. In that case that a competitor changes the citizenship, he or she shall be excluded from participation in Championships until the matter is settled and in any case at least for 3 years. If the two National Federations concerned agree they may request the Ju-Jitsu International Federation to shorten the period of three years. The competitor himself must come to the control. During the control the name, the age, the sex, the weight category for which the competitor has been entered, shall be verified.
