What is Dual Citizenship: Dual citizenship means that an individual is a citizen of two
countries at the same time. It is also possible to be a citizen of three or more
countries. However, every country has its own laws regarding dual citizenship.
Some countries allow it and others do not, while some countries have no
particular laws regarding dual citizenship. Dual citizenship is not something
that can be applied for. It is a process that happens when a person becomes a
citizen of another country, in addition to his or her country of birth. Dual
citizenship occurs automatically for some individuals. For example: a child is born in the United States to
foreign parents. In this example this child has
U.S. Dual Citizenship since the child is automatically a citizen of the United States and a citizen of its parent's home country. The same applies to children of U.S. citizens born abroad where the child is both a U.S. citizen and a citizen of the country of birth.
US Dual Citizenship: The U.S. government allows
dual citizenship. United States law recognizes
U.S. Dual Citizenship, but the
U.S. government does not encourage it is as a matter of policy due to the
problems that may arise from it. It is important to understand that a foreign
citizen does NOT lose his or her citizenship when becoming a U.S. citizen. An
individual that becomes a U.S. citizen through naturalization may keep his or
her original citizenship. However, as some countries do not recognize dual
citizenship, it is important to consider it carefully before applying for
U.S.
citizenship.
Dual citizenship is a complex issue and it is important to understand that
there are not only benefits but also obligations that comes with being a dual
citizen. Being a citizen of two countries means that you need to obey the laws
of both countries, which may include paying taxes and serving in the military. The "United States Dual Citizenship Guide"
explains these issues in detail.
US Citizenship Applications: It is highly recommended that any
individual considering applying for US citizenship also reads
the "United States Dual Citizenship Guide."The "United States Dual Citizenship
Guide" is an additional information guide, but it does not contain specific
information on how to apply for US citizenship. For U.S. citizenship application
requirements and procedures you should order the "
U.S.
Citizenship Information and Application Manual."
