What is Dual Citizenship?
The concept of
dual citizenship means that a person is a citizen of two countries at the same time. Each country has its own citizenship laws based on its own policy. Persons may have dual
nationality by automatic operation of different laws rather than by choice. For example, a
child born in a foreign country to U.S. citizen parents may be both a U.S. citizen and a citizen of the country of birth. Certain countries, including Ireland and the United Kingdom, recognize "
dual citizenship" permitting naturalized U.S. citizens to maintain their citizenship of birth and original passport.
