Does the US acknowledge dual citizenship?
The US recognizes dual citizenship in certain cases. It is permitted, for example, where a person is naturalized in the US and their country of birth does not require renunciation (Germany does, for one) or where a child is born abroad to US parents. US law bars dual citizenship where a US citizen naturalizes to another nationality with the intention of giving up their US citizenship as shown by the person’s statements and conduct. The US State Department’s official position is posted on their web site.
