PROVISIONAL REGULATIONS FOR THE ISSUE OF DENATIONALIZATION
CERTIFICATES. DATED MARCH 1928.
Certificates of donationalization will be issued by the Canton
Bureau for Foreign Affairs.
The Canton bureau for Foreign Affairs will notify the Consular
Body at each port that in cases where Chinese claiming foreign
nationality annly for registration at consulates, such regis-
tration should be refused unless the applicatʼn holds a certi-
ficate of denationalization.
Chinese who have obtained certificates of donationalization may
only carry on trade and purchase land in the treaty ports. Those
who already own land in the interior must sell it forthwith.
so as to avoid their being able to avail themselves of the spe-
cial privileges under the treaties, with resultant complice-
tions.
4. The Canton Bureau for Foreign Affairs will send in to the Pro-
vincial Government each month a list of persons who have obtain-
ed certificates of denationalization, for circulation to the
various departments.
